Production Notes

Hamilton Beachbum Berry's Zombie Rum Blend is a testament to the art of rum blending and Tiki culture. The blend was crafted over two years, with Ed Hamilton and Jeff Berry experimenting with numerous rum combinations. Their goal was to create a rum blend that could simplify the making of a Zombie cocktail while maintaining its complex flavor profile. The final product, with an ABV of 59%, achieves this by offering intense rum flavors in a concentrated form, thereby reducing the need for multiple rum bottles in a single cocktail. The rums used in this blend include a three-year-old Trinidadian rum replacing the “Puerto Rican” component, overproof Demerara rum from Guyana, and Jamaican rum. Bottled at 118 proof and sold in 1-liter bottles, this blend is not only ideal for the Zombie cocktail but is also versatile enough for a range of other Tiki classics, such as the Jet Pilot, Cobra’s Fang, and Tortuga.
