Jamaican Rum

With a history as long and complex as the country itself, Jamaican rum stands out from rums produced in other Caribbean countries thanks to its unique fermentation process, wide product range and distinct “funk.”

Jamaican rums are fermented in one of two ways, according to Matt Strickland for Distiller. The first is wild fermentation where loose, airborne yeast lands on open vats of pre-rum and are left to ferment for weeks. The other is to add dunder, the leftover fermented liquid from previously distilled rum, to fermenting rum. Both of these methods produce a ton of fruit and funky flavors that are unmistakably Jamaican.

Nowadays, there are only about seven distilleries across Jamaica that produce a range of rum brands. The most common rums produced in Jamaica include white rum, golden rum, aged rum and overproof rum, which must be 126 proof or higher.

Here, we’ll walk through some of the most popular Jamaican rum brands and show you some delicious ways to enjoy them.
