Blackwell

The Blackwell Rum brand was born out of a desire to revive the rich Jamaican heritage and family tradition of rum production that Chris Blackwell had carried with him since childhood. Chris is not only a well-known figure in the music industry as the founder of Island Records, but also a descendant of the family behind legendary Jamaican distilleries – his mother came from the Lindo family, which owned Appleton Estate and J. Wray & Nephew.

After years in music, Blackwell decided to return to his roots and create a rum that would be an authentic reflection of Jamaica. In 2008, he founded the Blackwell Fine Jamaican Rum brand, which aims to capture the "soul of Jamaica" – its rhythm, character, and wild beauty. He collaborated on the recipe with legendary master blender Joy Spence from Appleton Estate, who helped him create a unique profile – a dark rum with a rich flavor and strong character, made according to a family recipe.

Today, Blackwell Rum represents not only a return to craftsmanship, but also a strong connection between music, culture and the Jamaican spirit. The brand is based on authenticity, quality and the legacy of its ancestors. The rum is produced directly in Jamaica and is appreciated not only for its taste, but also for the story it tells.
