The Kingston 62 was rebranded as the perfect rum for socialising and great drink mixes.

Why is it called Kingston 62?

The Kingston 62 is a direct nod to Jamaica’s 1962 celebrations as a newly independent country back then. The first-ever celebrations were held in Kingston, Jamaica which serves as the nation's capital and business centre.

It is also the true birthplace of Reggae, making it the cultural epicentre of the Jamaican Reggae and Dancehall scene. The image of a lion is featured on the bottle which symbolises the Jamaican people and their resilience and pride.

KINGSTON 62 GOLD

The Kingston 62 Gold is made from a blend of four rums crafted in pot and column stills and aged up to seven years. The rum has hints of citrus, spice and molasses.
