The Story Behind The Bottle

Habits Bottle Shop
Hamilton 86 Demerara Rum showcases the rich, molasses-driven character that Guyana's Demerara region is famous for. This bottling is a blend of Guyanese rums selected by the Hamilton team to highlight the deep, funky, full-bodied profile that sets Demerara rum apart from lighter Caribbean styles. Expect a nose full of dark molasses, brown sugar, and baking spice, with a palate that carries that same rich sweetness through to a long, slightly smoky finish. Bottled at 86 proof, it has enough backbone to stand up in stirred cocktails while remaining approachable for sipping. Bartenders reach for Demerara rums like this one when a drink calls for real depth and weight, think a classic Mai Tai, a Dark 'n Stormy, or a rum old fashioned. At home, it's equally satisfying poured over ice or mixed with ginger beer and lime. Hamilton has become known among rum enthusiasts for sourcing and bottling rums that reflect their region of origin rather than smoothing them into a generic profile, and this Demerara expression is a great example of that philosophy in action. Add this bold, characterful Guyanese rum to your bar cart and order it online at Habits Bottle Shop.
