Meet James Townsend, the original inspiration behind Morant Bay Rum!
Born in 1874 in sunny Westmoreland, Jamaica, James was the Great, Great Grandfather of our CEO, Peter Townsend. This guy was a true legend.
For 65 glorious years, James built a sweet empire, slinging sugar cane and molasses to every nook and cranny of Jamaica and beyond. Talk about spreading the love!
When James passed the torch to his son, Lopez, the family legacy only grew stronger. Lopez didn’t just expand the business; he became a local hero in Westmoreland, preaching peace and prosperity wherever he went.

Alright, buckle up for a fun ride! Back in 2015, Peter decided to channel his great grandfather's vibes and kick it up a notch. He teamed up with some top-notch master distillers and transformed that sweet sugar cane into something truly magical—our signature edition spiced red rum was born!
Our Morant Bay Special Edition Red Rum is crafted right here in the UK, tailored for the modern 21st-century market.
While perfectly enjoyed neat, the complex flavours of Morant Bay rum blend exquisitely into cocktails. Browse our recipes ranging from seasonal to classics and 100% Caribbean.
