The Rolling Stones' Tribute to Jamaica Crossfire Hurricane Small Batch Gold Rum is a super-premium spirit created by the legendary rock band, The Rolling Stones.

To ensure authenticity and cultural appreciation, the rum was developed in collaboration with Global Rum Ambassador Ian Burrell. A Masterful Jamaican Blend This Gold expression is a true celebration of Jamaican rum-making tradition.

Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), it features unaged rum from the Clarendon distillery combined with rums aged up to five years in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels.
