Hamilton Breezeway Blend White Rum

Hamilton Breezeway Blend White Rum. Ed Hamilton, Ministry of Rum — a collaboration between rum curator Ed Hamilton and Spike, host of the popular Breezeway Cocktail Hour YouTube channel, blending Hamilton's Jamaican Pot Still Blonde and White 'Stache rums into a slightly straw-colored cocktail rum bottled at 42.5% ABV.

Breezeway Cocktail Hour is one of the most respected tiki and tropical cocktail channels in the rum community, hosted by Spike, whose deep knowledge of classic and vintage recipes has built a loyal following among serious home bartenders. The collaboration with Ed Hamilton was a natural meeting of two rum enthusiasts with the same philosophy: honest rum, proper proof, and nothing added that doesn't belong there.

The blend combines Hamilton's Jamaican Pot Still Blonde — Worthy Park Estate rum aged 18 months in ex-St. Lucian barrels, specifically designed as a Daiquiri base — with the White 'Stache, Hamilton's multi-island carbon-filtered aged white rum (Trinidad, Guyana, Dominican Republic). The Jamaican Pot Still Blonde brings Worthy Park's signature banana funk and tropical ester character, softened by barrel aging; the White 'Stache contributes clean, high-proof complexity and the slight coconut note of carbon-filtered aged spirit. Together they create a slightly straw-colored, ripe-banana-forward white rum purpose-built for Daiquiris, long drinks, and tiki applications at a proof level that commands respect in the glass.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Ripe banana and tropical fruit from the Worthy Park component lead, with a clean coconut-inflected freshness from the White 'Stache. Gentle Jamaican hogo character integrated by the blend.
• Palate: Ripe banana and tropical fruit with smooth texture. Clean and balanced, with the White 'Stache providing structural complexity behind the Jamaican fruit character. No sweetness from additives.
• Finish: Clean and smooth with lingering banana and tropical fruit. Purpose-built for cocktail integration.
