Probitas Blended White Rum
Probitas Blended White Rum is a 47% ABV (94 proof) white rum in a 750mL bottle — a three-rum collaboration between Foursquare Distillery in Barbados and Hampden Estate in Jamaica, brought together by Richard Seale and Luca Gargano. Mostly unaged (with one 2-year pot-still component), pot- and column-still, non-chill-filtered, with no sugar, flavoring, color, or additives — creamy custard and vanilla, tropical fruit, and Hampden's signature funk on an oily, full-textured palate.

Honesty in a Bottle — Barbados Meets Jamaica
Probitas is Latin for honesty, and the name is the mission statement: no sugar, no color, no flavoring, no neutral spirit — just rum from two of the Caribbean's greatest distilleries, made entirely in the Caribbean. It was the first direct inter-island collaboration in Caribbean rum history, and at a bold 94 proof it is built for daiquiris that demand real rum character. Rated 93 by Wine Enthusiast (per trade listings). Explore more from Probitas or shop the white rum collection.
Tasting Notes
Creamy custard and vanilla with citrus and tropical fruit — banana, guava — over molasses, kola nut, and marshmallow. The oily, full-textured palate carries Hampden's funky Jamaican fruit character straight through the finish.
How to Enjoy
The daiquiri rum: 2 oz Probitas, fresh lime, a touch of cane syrup. It also sips surprisingly well neat at full proof — or with a splash of water to open the fruit.
