I love nearly all of Hamilton's rums - the navy is superb, the 86 and 151 are excellent, the pimento dram is a really interesting switch up from St Elizabeths, and the St Lucia's are some of my favorite sippers. But that Jamaican Pot Still Black? The one and only bottle of rum that offended me so much I poured it down the drain. I really like other Jamaican funky rums, but to me, this one was just so intense, it reminded me of something that died and had been marinated in durian fruit juice. Like I say, I know it's not the rum and it must be my taste buds, as so many people here rave about it, but I just couldn't get into it. FWIW Cilantro also tastes to me like soap. So your results may vary :)
