Rum-Bar Silver 70cl

About The Producer Rum-Bar

The rums in the Rum Bar line were conceived by the Worthy Park Distillery to speak to all the creative aspirations of mixologists. These different profiles have been carefully crafted on the sugar plantation using traditional Jamaican methods to give you myriad possibilities for your cocktails. The Worthy Park estate sprawls over 8,600 acres in Saint Catherine Parish, a Jamaican county nestled in the heart of the Lluidas Valley. It is home to the distillery, of course, as well as the sugar factory and the oh-so-important sugarcane fields. It was given to British Lieutenant Emeritus Francis Price in recognition of his assistance in conquering Jamaica. Only two families had owned the property prior to its acquisition by the Clarke family in 1918. Today, third- and fourth-generation members of the Clarke family run the distillery, keeping the legacy alive. Sugarcane farming began on the estate in 1720 and has never stopped. The oldest historic records found on site show that the first batch of rum was produced in 1741. No other Jamaican distillery operating today was in business at that time. The production came to a sudden stop in 1960, when an agreement was signed with the Spirits Pool Association of Jamaica to address massive over-production on the island.
