Hamilton Jamaican Pimento Dram (75cl, 30%)

Hamilton Jamaican Pimento Dram is a rum-based liqueur made with fresh Jamaican pimento ground and blended into light pot still rum from Worthy Park Estate, left seven days, filtered, then brought to 30% with sugar and water, with no colour added. It is the spice bottle behind classic tiki drinks, with one small berry carrying clove, cinnamon and nutmeg at once. A little goes far, with most classic recipes calling for a quarter-ounce per drink. On the nose there are clove, cinnamon and a hint of bread dough. The palate shows the same baking spices with banana bread, ginger and a touch of earthiness.
