Crossfire Hurricane Gold Rum is a small batch Jamaican rum that masterfully combines fresh pot still rum bursting with tropical fruit character, smooth column-distilled rum aged in young oak, and a finishing touch of rare high-ester aged rum that delivers authentic Jamaican funk. Bottled at 40% ABV with natural sweetness from pure fruit character and no added sugar, this versatile spirit was crafted to honor The Rolling Stones' legendary 1972 Jamaica recording sessions and their enduring connection to the island.
Named after the opening line of "Jumpin' Jack Flash," this rum represents a collaboration between Jamaican distilling tradition and rock and roll heritage. Distilled in Jamaica using traditional methods that showcase the island's renowned rum-making expertise, each batch captures the essence of Caribbean craftsmanship while maintaining consistency for both cocktail enthusiasts and neat sippers.
