Inspired by the opening lyrics from their hit 1968 song “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” the spirit is a premium blend of rums from Jamaica, Barbados and the Dominican Republic, aged for five years in charred oak barrels. Expect notes of caramelized bananas, tropical fruit and wood, with a sweet but subtle finish. The golden hue, meantime, harks back to the golden sunshine of the Caribbean coast.

BUY: CROSSFIRE HURRICANE RUM $37

While the Stones have endorsed other products before, this is the first time they’ve introduced their own spirits brand. The band members explain that initiating with rum was an unmistakable decision, as they recorded their album, Goats Head Soup, in Kingston, Jamaica in 1972. Some of the songs for Hackney Diamonds were also recorded in the Bahamas, and both Mick Jagger and Keith Richards have homes in the Caribbean.

In a press statement for the rum, the band mentioned “The Caribbean’s exuberant energy and music greatly influenced the group over the years,” and that Jagger and Richards “often find themselves on the islands when the band is not touring.”

The Crossfire Hurricane Rum is a licensed collaborative project between the Rolling Stones, Universal Music Group and Socio Ventures. It is now available on ReserveBar.com and bottled at 40% ABV, the Rolling Stones’ rum sells for $37.

“We’re incredibly thrilled to collaborate with Universal Music Group and Socio Ventures to establish our first-ever premium spirits brand and eagerly await for it to reach the world,” the Stones mention in a release.

“Owning a business with The Rolling Stones is absolutely electrifying,” adds John Fincher, Socio Ventures Partner and Crossfire Hurricane Co-founder. “It is an absolute privilege to create this product alongside some of the greatest artists of our time. The band’s vision and enthusiasm for Crossfire Hurricane set us apart and position us to redefine the rum category. And you’re all invited to the show.”

A great gift for both music fans and cocktail enthusiasts alike, Crossfire Hurricane is available now on ReserveBar.com.
