Rum is
jamaica
in a bottle

From Negril to Morant Bay, Montego Bay to Portland Point, every Jamaican has a connection to rum and our green and yellow bottle serves a taste of the island in every glass.

Immerse yourself in rum’s history, flavours and varieties.

The jamaica
rum story

Welcome to Jamaica, where the sun-kissed shores hold more than just tropical charm. Our Caribbean paradise is the secret ingredient to a rich history of rum production.

1/3
THE SPANISH BROUGHT SUGAR CANE TO JAMAICA IN THE 1400s

The rum tale in Jamaica begins with Christopher Columbus’s voyage in 1494, bringing sugar to the island. By 1655, the British took the reins from the Spanish, and that’s when rum-making from Barbados was introduced.

2/3
THE RUM TRADE BOOMS GLOBALLY

Rum was like gold back in the day. It was used to trade for slaves, who then worked the sugar plantations. The sugar went to the Americas to make more rum, which looped back to Africa for more trading. Jamaica had over 100 distilleries by the late 19th century. But everything shifted when slavery ended in 1834, bringing a close to a dark chapter in the production of Caribbean rum.

3/3
NOW PROTECTED IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Fast-forward to the 21st century and you’ll find just six distilleries: Appleton, Worthy Park, Hampden, Long Pond, Clarendon and New Yarmouth.

Rum is a Wray
of life

“Rum is far more than just a liquid; Jamaica Rum is resilience, it is community, time and identity. It is the spirit, the essence of people and place. With over two centuries of history, each bottle of Wray & Nephew carries within it the stories of generations past, embodying the spirit of Jamaican craftsmanship alongside the unity and resilience of its community.”

Jamaica rum

Distinctive flavour profile

Jamaica rum’s distinct flavour comes from the use of sugarcane and molasses or sugar, combined with the unique terroirs, tropical climate, and local plant life. Plus, its unique production methods, including the use of copper distillation pots and oak barrels for ageing.

Typically, tropical notes bring the flavour alongside an overripe fruity aroma, for a rum that’s always big on character and big on taste.

JAMAICAN RUM
VARIETY

While rums can often be confusingly defined by colour such as gold, dark or even black. In Jamaica we only let wood mellow the colour of our rum.

White Rum

what it’s best for

Ideal for cocktails as they’re typically clean, fresh and fruity but still pack a punch. Aged for a short period, preserving its clear appearance.

Gold rum

what it’s best for

Versatile, bringing warmth and richness. The golden hue comes from the oak barrels its aged in, which also infuse warm notes of vanilla and subtle hints of spice.

Aged Rum

what it’s best for

Tropically aged for much longer, delivering a more robust and complex flavour, they often feature floral notes of caramel and spices. Best enjoyed neat on the rocks.

HOW TO ENJOY JAMAICA RUM
