Produced primarily from Jamaican molasses; fermentation followed by both continuous (column) and pot still distillation; maturation in white oak barrels and subsequent blending. The dark colour of the Original expressions is also achieved through caramel and/or addition of molasses after distillation, according to official sources.
Distillation
Continuous (column) and pot still distillation; blending of multiple distillates to achieve the final profile.
Ageing
Aging in white oak barrels; blending after maturation; some expressions receive special cask finishes.

The rum used for the blend is traditionally linked to Jamaican distilleries such as those in Clarendon.
