Rum Fire Overproof Jamaican Rum

Rum Fire Overproof Jamaican Rum bursts onto the scene from the legendary Hampden Estate in Trelawny, Jamaica, a site with roots in sugar cultivation since 1753 and rum production not long after. While Hampden has a long history of producing high-ester, pot-still rums primarily for the bulk market, Rum Fire itself is a more contemporary offering, first released in Jamaica around March 2011. The brand is synonymous with that classic, funky Jamaican rum profile, achieved through extended fermentation with wild yeasts and 100% pot still distillation – a tradition Hampden fiercely maintains. This particular expression is an unaged, overproof white rum, specifically the HLCF (Hampden Light Continental Flavoured) marque, clocking in at a feisty 63% ABV and an ester count reportedly between 500-600 g/hL AA, promising a riot of tropical fruit and estery complexity that's become a darling of serious rum aficionados and a vibrant component in many a cocktail.

Rum Fire brings that unmistakable Jamaican funk – think overripe tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, with a potent ester punch that’s surprisingly smooth for 63% ABV. It shines in tiki drinks and daiquiris, adding serious character and a touch of that "hogo" complexity to your home bar creations.

Rum Fire Overproof Jamaican Rum offers a bold sensory experience, with a pungent, fruity nose featuring overripe banana, pineapple, and a hint of solvent. The palate is an explosion of tropical fruit, with a distinct buttery quality and warming spice. It finishes long and hot, with lingering notes of fruit, pepper, and a touch of smokiness or even burnt rubber.
