History

Established 1889.

[Source: The label]

... Jamaica was a natural hunting ground for entrepreneurs who wanted to make their own selection, and blend, bottle and market their own brands of rum. ... One came from Switzerland, the Compania Rum Basel, who in 1943 established The Rum Company (Jamaica) Ltd and launched their `Coruba' and `Sugar Mill' brands. These were sold, not only on the island, but exported to Britain, Canada, the South Pacific, the Far East and the Arabian Gulf. The Rum Company also became well established in Singapore.

In 1965 the Wray & Nephew Group Ltd acquired The Rum Company (Jamaica) Ltd, a subsidiary of the Swiss Compania Rum Basel (`Coruba'), now concerned mainly with export.
