product Details

Black Joe Original Jamaica Rum 1970s / ILLVA Import

To see the resurgence of Jamaican rum in recent years it may seem strange to imagine a time when most of it was sold in bulk to be bottled in foreign markets, though until very recently that was how most of the Islands rum was exported. Here we have an example of such a bottling.

A label on the bottle states this has a 1965 vintage, but whether it is original or not is unclear. The bottling date is around the late 1970s so this is unlikely.

Important Notice

We would recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please contact us for a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise lots will be sold as seen in the images.

Please note: Due to the various ages of bottles and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion and no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit.
