About Blackwell Rum
Blackwell Rum was co-founded by one of the UK’s most legendary record producers and record label owners, Chris Blackwell, who played a major role in the careers of musicians such as Bob Marley and U2. “This is a rum that celebrates Jamaica, my friendships, and also my family legacy,” says Blackwell of the Jamaican rum brand that he co-founded with entrepreneur Richard Kirschenbaum in 2008.
Blackwell’s son Chris Blackwell Jr. has been taking over the reins of the rum that is based on a traditional family recipe that stems from the time the family owned J. Wray & Nephew ― the distillery at which Blackwell rum is produced today. Developed by Blackwell and Appleton Estate Master Blender Joe Spence, the rum is crafted with Jamaican sugar cane and is a classic blend of pot still and column still rum.
