Long Pond distillery, one of only six operating rum distilleries on Jamaica’s island, has a long history. Long Pond restarted operations in 2017 after a several years downtime for upgrades. The distillery is owned by National Rums of Jamaica, which it turns has three owners of equal share: The Jamaican government, Guyana’s Demerara Distillers Limited, and Maison Ferrand, parent company of Plantation Rum.
Jamaica’s Long Pond rum distillery was severely hobbled by a fire on July 16, 2018. The vat fermenting house along with the rum stores have been destroyed. Approximately 65,000 litres of finished rum stock and the equivalent of 15,000 litres of unfinished rum was destroyed.
