Chris Blackwell Releases 60th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Blackwell Fine Jamaican Rum

In celebration of the 60th anniversary of James Bond and the film Dr. No, Chris Blackwell—the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the owner of Ian Fleming’s former residence, GoldenEye—has launched a collector’s edition box of his prized Blackwell Fine Jamaican Rum, which is out now.

A rare gift for the James Bond connoisseur, the Blackwell Rum 007 collector’s edition features a special bottle of Blackwell Fine Jamaican Rum (750 mL in the US and 700 mL in the UK/Europe), sold exclusively on blackwellrum.com and 007.com and retailing for $700. Fewer than 1,000 boxes were made, and all are hand-numbered and include a personalized and signed note from Chris Blackwell.

“It’s been 60 years since James Bond made his big screen debut,” says Blackwell, who served as a location scout on the film. “He’s been a constant in my life ever since. To celebrate Bond and my old friend Ian Fleming, I’ve created this Collector’s Edition of my rum.”

Inspired by his family’s time-honored recipe, Blackwell Fine Jamaican Rum is an aged, rich, and fragrant dark gold rum that distills the warmth and sensuality of Jamaica. “This is a rum that celebrates Jamaica, my friendships, and my family’s legacy,” says Blackwell.
