Hamilton Puesto

A nice blend of rums. Sweet, funky, and bitter edge. When adding a mint leaf, it fits perfectly. Seems like it will hit the mark for a mojito.

Tasted July 7 2024, courtesy of the Forbidden Hole stash.
Appearance: clear
Aroma: pine
Flavor: brown sugar and pineapple
Notes : a bit hot, with not much aftertaste. This rum seems bitter, rather than sweet. The label indicates this was blended specifically for mojitos, so one wonders if this is to compensate for the sweet and mint of the mojito.
7 rating because I'm not quite sure what to do with this rum

Bottle purchased from The Bottle Shop in South Park San Diego for $14. Tasted on 7-7-24. Pours clear. Aroma is a faint blend of bubble gum and model car glue. Flavor really grows on you. A beer hop bitterness settles over the sides of your tongue. Oddly pleasant to drink neat, I can’t wait to make mojitos with this as I can see how it would balance out.
