Hamilton West Indies 1670 Blend US Import 42% 750ml is a meticulously crafted rum by the renowned Hamilton brand. This intriguing blend originates from the West Indies Rum Distillery (WIRD) and features a delightful combination of rums from Guyana and Jamaica, particularly from Worthy Park and an unidentified distillate from Diamond. Created initially for a New York bar group seeking the perfect daiquiri mixer, this rum was designed to be consumer-friendly, maintaining a delicate balance of flavors at 84 proof. The journey to the final blend involved rigorous testing to achieve an ideal proportion that harmonizes well on the palate. Though the original Navy Strength blend was too intense when diluted, the 1670 Blend achieved a perfect balance that is both approachable and versatile. Despite its 42% ABV, the blend retains a complex profile, making it suitable for both sipping and mixing. This rum delivers a nose heavy on banana with subtle hints of milk chocolate, showcasing the unmistakable influence of Jamaican rums. The Guyana component brings a background of delicate spices, such as anise and pepper, adding depth. On the palate, the banana notes dominate, complemented by hints of pear and herbs. The finish is moderate, but the overall experience is somewhat subdued due to the dilution process, making it a flat blend for some aficionados.
