Jamaica Rum Vibes is all about sharing the taste of Jamaican culture, a culture not only known for its popular reggae, dancehall and its flavourful jerk cuisine but also the island’s unique taste of rum.
With a history dating as far back as 1749, Jamaica not only has one of the finest rums, the Island has the most rum bars per square mile than any other country. White rum is a key part of the Jamaican culture; be it a celebration or mourning the loss of a loved one, Jamaicans love their white rum…we can safely say that it is the “vibes” of the island.
After Tamoy Carter (founder) migrated from Jamaica to live in the UK, he was eager to share his rum culture by creating not only a brand which highlights the fun, bright and vibrant vibes of Jamaica, but he also wanted to create a product which is AUTHENTIC and NATURAL. This gave birth to Jamaica Rum Vibes premium ready-to-drink cocktail.
Jamaica Rum Vibes ready to drink cocktail is made using a unique blend of over proof white rum from carefully selected distilleries in Jamaica. It contains real cane sugar, no artificial sweeteners, colour, flavour or preservatives. It will be available in three flavours; rum and lime, rum and raspberry and rum & ginger, all bursting with the tropical notes of the Jamaican white rum @4.5% abv making it a refreshing cocktail with vibes. It’s a perfect choice for any occasion; a house party, a BBQ, a night out with friends, a day at the park or to keep the weekend pumping Jamaican style …yah man
