  • Detail

    Crafted in California, Mainland American Rum Co.'s 'Barrel 01' Hazmat Rum is a rare and unapologetically bold expression that pushes the boundaries of traditional rum-making. This small-batch release is bottled at a staggering 161 proof, offering a high-octane experience that stays true to its name. Distilled with precision and aged in oak barrels, it captures the raw intensity of American rum while maintaining a smooth and complex structure only found in expertly handled overproof spirits.

    The flavor profile is unapologetically intense. Rich waves of molasses, charred oak, and dark fruit hit the palate first, followed by a burst of black pepper, caramelized banana, and toasted sugar. As the heat rises, it reveals layers of dried spice, leather, and burnt toffee, delivering a slow, lingering finish that demands attention. Despite its strength, there’s a surprising balance to each sip, with deep flavor development only achievable through careful aging and cask selection.

    Mainland American Rum Co. recommends enjoying this expression with reverence—served neat in small pours for a powerful sipping experience or used sparingly to add unparalleled depth and fire to cocktails. 'Barrel 01' Hazmat Rum isn’t just high-proof rum; it’s a collector's piece and conversation starter that reflects the fierce independence of California craft distilling.
