To some, Chris Blackwell is just a music mogul, but his family has been in the rum business for may years. Chris has put his talents to work on a fine Jamaican rum these days and one that I am proud to say will be available at the Rum Bar here in Key West.
Chris
Blackwell is an international music icon, entrepreneur and cultural
taste-maker. His reputation and lifestyle are the inspiration behind the brand
and he is proud to offer the best of Jamaica.
Chris
hails from one of the oldest merchant families, the Lindo family. They first
came to the island in 1625. His grandfather owned J. Wray & Nephew,
renowned for distilling the best rum in Jamaica. Chris continues the family
legacy with the introduction of Blackwell Fine Jamaican Rum.
Blackwell Rum has
a dark bronze color with reddish highlights. the aroma brings notes of Demerara sugar and
molasses. The blend brings out notes of cocoa and
chocolate, lasting long after the first sip. This will be a welcome new addition to the Rum Bar collection of fine rums.
