HOT ! Other Products ｜Hamilton Saint Lucia 7 Year Cask Strength Rum

Only 240 bottles of this rum were ever released — and The Lone Caner, writing in 2021, called it close to extinct. Ed Hamilton is the Ministry of Rum: the sailor, author, and importer who spent decades documenting Caribbean distilleries and then began bottling their rums unsweetened, honestly labeled, and with batch numbers that unlock full production details online. Between 2013 and 2015 he released a handful of cask-strength single casks from St. Lucia Distillers, the island's only distillery, and then stopped; nothing has been added since. The 7 Year came off SLD's 2,000-liter Vendome pot still in September 2007, aged in ex-bourbon oak on the island, was shipped to the US in its cask, and was bottled in January 2015 with nothing added at a snorting 60.4% ABV — twenty cases. The Lone Caner found a seriously solid, very tasty, complex rum that adds to both SLD's and Hamilton's reputations, edged only slightly by the 2004 9 Year on personal taste. Inu A Kena noted its transparency and an unexpected cane-juice quality. Expect Saint Lucia's own funk — not Jamaican, but its own style: brine, meat, eucalyptus, pine, pineapple, furniture wax, and leather over molasses and oak, dense and savory, opening beautifully with water. Honest note: this is a collector's cask, priced for its scarcity, for the serious rum drinker who wants a cask-strength Saint Lucian that no longer exists. Neat, with water, slowly.
