Have You Heard About Harth of Nature Gold Flinch Crystal Rum?
Harth of Nature Gold Flinch Crystal Rum was launched in 2018 by the husband-and-wife team of Wayne Clarke and Althea Solomon. Since then, it has taken some of its customers a while to embrace the concept.
This smooth, tangy liquor is made with seasonal fruits found in Jamaica, like guava and mango. The guava rum was displayed at the St Mary Agriculture Expo, where the product received positive feedback.
Clarke and Solomon are working on the local and international expansion of the brand. Although there are some challenges to face, with the financial support and guidance of the Social Development Commission (SDC), the company now seems set for smooth sailing.

It began its operations in February 2005, producing and selling root drinks. Today, St Mary-based Harth of Nature produces wines and rums from local produce in a reflux distillery.
