It's not just a catchphrase – it's a universal groove, a link between all of us, regardless of where we come from. That's precisely the spirit behind Wha Gwan, a rum-fueled tonic crafted with love by David Mills, a man whose roots trace back to the vibrant landscapes of Jamaica. Wha Gwan is all about being "fully loaded with good vybz and strength", a motto that's clearly resonated with folks all across the UK. In the words of the founder himself, “I’ve always wanted to give back to the community and I found a way to do so. The road to success is never easy and the proof is in the pudding. I went through so many obstacles to get to the final product. I spent over a year coming up with the perfect drink brand and flavour profile.”

Rum Diaries: Jamaican Rums:
We cannot talk about the celebration of Jamaican Independence without mentioning these iconic Jamaican rums that pay homage to their roots and have defined the island's spirit-making prowess.
Let's begin with the rich and complex Appleton Estate rums, made in the heart of Jamaica. With a history dating back to 1749, their rums are crafted in the island's lush Nassau Valley, offering a captivating blend of bold, tropical flavors.
Don't miss out on Jamaica Cove, renowned for its Black Pineapple rum, which takes the quintessentially Jamaican pineapple flavor and pairs it with fine, well-aged rum. It's a refreshing spin on tradition that's ideal for crafting tropical cocktails or sipping on a balmy evening.
Navy Island rums are an ode to the small tropical oasis off the coast of Port Antonio, Jamaica. This brand offers premium, hand-bottled selections from Jamaica's finest rum distilleries, emphasizing sustainability, local sourcing, and exceptional quality.
And finally, we have the infamous Wray & Nephew. This overproof rum is not for the faint-hearted. Known as the party-starter, it delivers a bold, distinct flavor that embodies the vibrant spirit of Jamaica. It's perfect for traditional rum cocktails, punches, or even a daring straight sip.
Chill Factor: Jamaican Beers:
Capping off our Jamaican beverage celebration, let's talk beer - because what's a celebration without a cool, refreshing brew? When you think of Jamaican beer, the first name that likely comes to mind is Red Stripe. And for stout lovers, there's Dragon Stout, a Jamaican gem that's rich, smooth and surprisingly strong. It's got a slightly sweet twist compared to your usual stout and is lovingly referred to as 'Dragon' by locals.
So, let's ramp up the party vibes, people! Jamaican Independence Day is almost here, and we're ready to rock it with a mega celebration. Join us at The Bottle Club as we say cheers to Jamaica, and pour up a riot of flavours that's as vibrant and infectious as the island itself. Let's get this party started!
