If you ever see One Barrel Rum from Belize....a true delight!! I begged our local liquor store to get it and surprisingly, they did! Also asked them to try and get Chris Blackwell's Black rum in (which I really like) yet no luck so far. There are many State regulations that seem to complicate matters.

100% agree that Blackwell rum is quite nice, but I didn't see it behind any bar in Negril. However... If you are looking for a good rum cocktail--like a good rum craft cocktail--I asked George at Xtabi to make me a series of off-the-menu rum drinks last week. One after the other was perfect, a couple I recognized and some new tastes to me. And no pina colada or dirty banana in the bunch. The highlight was when George mixed me a two rum cocktails in one lowball: the bottom half with Meyers dark (per my request for Meyers) and the top with Appleton Genesis, they looked like one drink but the flavors of the two rums was apparent from the top sip to the bottom sip. So, just ask for a good rum cocktail and you will be rewarded by one of Jamaica's best bartenders.
