Distillery Information

First records about the New Yarmouth plantation date back to 18th century when an estate in Vere parish (now part of Clarendon parish) in Jamaica has been given its name. New Yarmouth may stand in a shadow of other Jamaican distilleries that are more famous and known worldwide but it still remains one of the most important from them all. This is because rum Wray & Nephew which is No.1 seller in Jamaica, is made right here. History of this brand starts in 1825 when John Wray opened a tavern in Kingston, busy port and commercial centre of Jamaica known for its culture life. John Wray has opened his business right next to the prestige theatre called Theatre Royal (later Ward Theatre). Famous theatre companies regularly performed here when travelling from Europe to the ports in Boston or New York. Wray called his inn the Shakespeare Tavern and it became very popular among the locals for its rum blends, liquors and cocktails.
