The Jamaica Rum Festival shone brilliantly at its new home at the Aqueduct, Rose Hall in St James.
Last Saturday (June 25), Jamaican rums took the spotlight in a festival of ‘niceness’ with elegant booths and exciting activities on and off stage for over twelve hours. Seducing visitors to the island and captivating residents, the rums of Jamaica provided a top-tier experience of adult entertainment.
If you missed it, gear up for the 2023 staging that promises an even bigger world-class event. But here are three top moments of note, whether you attended or not.
1. Six Jamaican rums demonstrated their versatility and afforded patrons an exciting experience at one of the most iconic locations in western Jamaica. Rum seminars provided valuable information on mixology, rum history and best food pairings for eager patrons.
2. Jamaica celebrating 60 years! Wray and Nephew White Overproof Rum unveiled a special commemorative limited-edition Rum, during the Jamaica Rum Festival. The commemorative edition of the iconic brand is part of activities undertaken by the company to mark Jamaica’s 60th Independence. This special product is a 70% ABV Liquid that is flavourful, full of character and has a natural fruity aroma with overtones of molasses.
3. Jamaican music still nice! The power of Reggae and Dancehall shook the aqueduct with amazing performances from a powerful lineup which included, Sevanna, Tessanne, Romain Virgo and Capleton.
Jamaican Rum is more than the bottle. It truly is an experience.
