Crossfire Hurricane rum is better than brown sugar
Jamaica’s world renowned rum pedigree is going to hit the high notes because the Rolling Stones have produced their own brand out of the island.
The Stones are now marketing the latest version of Crossfire Hurricane Rum. Ian Burrell is Jamaica’s Global Rum Ambassador who helped create the final blend in collaboration with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
The Stones have a long history with Jamaican music and culture in general dating back to 1972, when they recorded their album ‘Goats Head Soup’ there. Like many British rockers at the time, they were fascinated by the burgeoning reggae scene there.
The first Crossfire Hurricane was a blend of rums from Barbados, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica. The second one is all Jamaican, containing rums sourced from four of the island’s six distilleries: Long Pond, Hampden Estate, Clarendon, and Worthy Park. Jamaican rum has pretty strict laws attached to it, so no sugar or other flavourings can be added after distillation. It retails for roughly $40 and connoisseurs and the public alike are impressed.
