Hamilton Beachbum Berry's Zombie Blend Rum

In 2005, Beachbum Berry unearthed the original “lost” Zombie recipe which called for three Caribbean rums. Fourteen years later, Ed Hamilton was drinking with the Bum at his New Orleans bar when the conversation turned to the challenge of recreating the lost cocktails of the last century. Over the next two years they blended scores of rum samples with the goal of creating a blend that will reanimate your Zombie, fuel your Jet Pilot and punch up your favorite Tiki Classic.

This blend had to be more than an overproof slug of rum but rather bring balance to the final drink. More important than the amount of alcohol, though that is important, is the intensity of the flavors in the bottled rum.
