Hamilton White 'Stache Rum (1L, 43.5%)

A white rum made from molasses, blended from three rums: the bulk distilled and aged in Trinidad, with molasses distillates from Guyana and the Dominican Republic added. It is carbon-filtered to remove the colour taken from the barrels during its years of ageing. At the Five & 20 Distillery in Westfield, New York, the high-proof blend is diluted slowly with filtered well water over five days to protect the delicate aromas. It is bottled at 43.5% in a one-litre bottle, with no added flavours, sugar or glycerin. It is intended for cocktails that call for a premium white rum, such as daiquiris and swizzles.
