{"product_id":"hamilton-beachbum-berry-s-zombie-blend-rum","title":"Hamilton Beachbum Berry’s Zombie Blend Rum","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2005, Beachbum Berry unearthed the original “lost” Zombie recipe, which called for three different Caribbean rums. Fourteen years later, Ed Hamilton — the swashbuckling Caribbean trader turned crusading “pure rum” importer and blender — was drinking with the Bum at Latitude 29 when our talk turned to the challenge of recreating the complicated exotic cocktails of the last century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the next two years we experimented with umpteen rum mixes trying to create a one-bottle blend that could reanimate your Zombie, fuel your Jet Pilot, and punch up your favorite Tiki Classics without having to inventory three different rums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blend had to be more than a high-octane slug of rum, but rather bring balance to the final drink through a subtle marriage of multiple distillates. The end result of our collaboration: Hamilton Beachbum Berry’s Zombie Blend Rum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurists may point out that the original 1934 Zombie recipe of 1 1\/2 oz Puerto Rican rum, 1 1\/2 oz Jamaican rum and 1 oz of Demerara 151 adds up to twice the amount of rum as our Zombie recipe below, which calls for a mere 2 oz of our 118-proof rum — and they’d be right! So what’s missing? Basically, more water in the rum bottle. The less water, the more concentrated the rum, and the more intense the rum flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the high ABV of the Beachbum Zombie Blend, you get that flavor at half the volume. And at a fraction of the time, trouble and cost of mixing a Zombie with three different bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut while crafted specifically for Zombies, this blend is no one-trick pony. As suggested below, you can deploy it in a variety of classics. Not to mention your own original concoctions!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hamilton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43744033898729,"sku":"hamilton-BBZBR","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/3250\/8905\/files\/hamilton-beachbum-berrys-zombie-blend-rum-206552.jpg?v=1707614290","url":"https:\/\/bourbonhuntusa.com\/products\/hamilton-beachbum-berry-s-zombie-blend-rum","provider":"Bourbon Hunt USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
