Jamaica's Importance in Rum Production

Jamaica is known for its high density of bars and its pronounced rum culture. The sugar cane industry, and consequently rum production, is a major economic sector, employing around 40,000 people. Rum also has a deep spiritual significance and is an integral part of ritual ceremonies on the island.

Production Process and Legislation

Jamaican rum is traditionally distilled using the pot still method, with the majority of production coming from the renowned distilleries "Wray and Nephew" and "National Rums of Jamaica". It is illegal in Jamaica to add sugar to the distillates, which ensures the authenticity and quality of the rum.

Flavor Profile

This Jamaica Rum is characterized by its intense spiciness. Dark roasted aromas and noble tobacco notes shape this rum and, in their complexity, are sometimes reminiscent of a peaty Islay Malt.
