About Rum-Bar

From cane field to bottle, Rum-Bar rums are made at the historic Worthy Park Estate, located in St. Catherine Parish, Jamaica. Sitting 1,200 feet above sea level, the estate encompasses more than 9,000 acres of land. 100% of the sugar cane used to create the molasses, is grown either on the Estate or on one of three nearby properties leased for cane cultivation by Worthy Park. Thus, the aromas and flavors in our rums truly reflect the growing conditions and production processes at Worthy Park Estate. Rum-Bar is one of the most popular rum brands on the island of Jamaica.
