Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Gold

Quite funky on the nose (rotten fruit and vegetable), taste is totally different. Light-medium body, with some nice, light fruitiness, some bitterness (in a good way), a hint of smoke, semi-dry, mild molasses on the finish, with nothing off-putting. Available in a 375ml if you'd like to give it a try. Although the nose funk might be off-putting to a new comer to Jamaican rum, the taste should be more than tolerable. I gather this is the same as the Black, with more caramel coloring added, and while very similar, I detect something more phenolic in the Black version. I prefer the gold, but the black is good too.

A light gold color, lighter than I was expecting for a "gold" rum. Nose is strong of bananas with a little bit of varnish (not in a bad way). Smooth and relatively light on the palate. Not super funky for a Jamaican pot sill rum. I think it would do great in cocktails.

Almost smells like a caçacha but definitely has a much smoother flavor profile. Very light, pale gold color with hints of oak, spice, and fruitiness. Smooth finish with similar notes. Very nice supper and one I’ll consider keeping in the future.

Lightest gold rum I've had! What it lacks in color it makes up for in smell and taste. Sweet banana bread stands out on the nose. Sweetness followed by some heat that moves into a pepper spice that ends with a molasses note.

Agricole funk on nose (i dont like agricoles but i love jamaican funky rums like hampden, worthy park) but this is of the prior variation. Not a fan, +3 if you love agricoles

Its scent is like a fresh baked molasses cookie. That did not, however, carry across when I sipped it, but I caught it again when mixed with Coke. Go figure. Mrs. S. did not care for it. But I did.
