Crossfire Hurricane Gold Rum Reserve
Crossfire Hurricane Gold Rum Reserve is The Rolling Stones' rum — a 100% Jamaican blend built around older pot-still rums for depth and high-ester character, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) with zero added sugar.
Co-crafted with global rum ambassador Ian Burrell, the relaunched range blends spirit from four of Jamaica's great distilleries — Hampden Estate, Long Pond, Worthy Park, and Clarendon — the first blend ever to unite all four. The name comes from the opening line of "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and celebrates the band's 1972 Jamaica recording sessions. The Reserve is the connoisseur's pour of the range: complex, funky, and built for sipping or a proper Manhattan-style serve.
Tasting notes
Tropical fruit — pineapple, banana — over butterscotch, toffee, vanilla, and warm oak spice, with the high-ester Jamaican funk humming underneath. Richer and deeper than the Gold; long, warming finish.
