Guys, I have put together the provisional itinerary for Jamrock 2026 for 11/2/26 to 24/2/26. Itā€™s 2 days longer than this yearā€™s trip: 2 nights in Kingston, 1 night on the beach in Ocho Rios, 4 nights in Trelawny on the beach, 1 night on the beach in Montego Bay, 4 nights in Black River on the beach, and the last night back in Kingston. 3 of 5 distilleries have already confirmed, the NRJ properties will confirm soon. 14 days/13 nights, 12 excursions, 5 distilleries, a huge undertaking and a lifetime of experiences to remember. ---

Hey Robert @JamRock, this looks awesome. I hope Iā€™ll be able to join at some point in the future (with young kids right now, itā€™s a bit complicatedā€¦). Can you tell us about TECB? Werenā€™t you going to bottle some? Or is it a secret? Cheers, Q. ---

TECB has been in the pipeline for a couple of years. Long Pond has had some significant production setbacks since reopening. Theyā€™re doing the best they can. Soon comeā€¦ ---

Any idea if the taste is very similar to the one on the island? ---

Did you bring some Ting to compare? Would be interested in this as well. I think have read somewhere that itā€™s different (sugar content etc.). ---

Ting on the island has much more juice content than the export version. ---

Good morning all, Iā€™d like to return to the itinerary for Jamrock 2026: there is the one I posted above and this one, which is very close to what we had this year: 3 nights in Kingston, 4 nights on the north shore close to Long Pond and Hampden, 3 nights in Black River, and 1 last night in Kingston. The ideal group size is 8, the maximum is 12. Accommodation is based on double occupancy in Kingston (single rooms can be arranged for a supplement), and private rooms elsewhere. The dates for the trip are 13/2 - 24/2 12 days/11 nights. For this 2nd variation and based on 8 people, I am estimating 3650 Euro per person (this yearā€™s rate adjusted for inflation plus the extra night). This includes all transportation. accommodation, distillery trips, excursions, plus breakfast and dinners (7/7) outside of Kingston. Amazingly tasty, genuine Jamaican food like Jerked Chicken & Pork, Ackee & Saltfish, Curried Goat, Shrimp, Lobster, Snapper, Bammy, Plantains, Rice & Peas, etc cooked by two of my favorite ladies. 3 dinners in Kingston and lunches are paid for individually. This price does not include tips. Tips and individual meals should total around 600 Euro. Airfare is not included in this price. The excursions include the Bob Marley Museum (his home and recording studio on Hope Road), the Creighton Coffee Estate (Blue Mountains), Downtown Kingston Water Lane Art District, Trench Town Government Yard (where Bob Marley lived), Hellshire Beach, a Rastafarian farm, Vale Royal Great House ruins, Dunns River Falls, YS Falls, Black River boat tour and Floydā€™s Pelican Bar. Worthy Park, Hampden Estate and Appleton Estate have already confirmed next yearā€™s tours, Long Pond and Clarendon will confirm soon. Candidly, pricing the first option puts it over 4000 Euro per person before individual costs and airfare which may be too rich for some peopleā€™s budgets. And, as you can see from the above, the 2nd option is still a very full trip. There are only a couple of days where we unplug, half the days weā€™re up and out the door by 0730, but there is time to relax and chill. Itā€™s a very Jamaican experience. My access to the distilleries and their people, knowledge of Jamaica and contacts around the island make this a very reasonable offer. Iā€™ve been doing this since 2017, plus traveling to Jamaica since the 1980, I have a very good working knowledge of the island. I hope this gives you a good idea of what the trip includesā€¦ Jamrock 2026 will be something special. Book you slot ASAP. We require a 50% deposit in order to lock properties in place as early as possible. References and testimonials are available upon request. Jamrock 2026 soon come! ---

Be warned you guys: youā€™ll fall hopelessly in love with the island if you go. But youā€™ll carry the treasure in your mind and heart for the rest of your life . ā¤šŸ’›šŸ’š ![IMG_2748](https://community.rum-x.com/uploads/default/original/3X/7/9/79583d9e7a790dcc862d6d89cd724324924911cb.jpeg) ---

There is no cure, only treatmentā€¦ Once youā€™ve had a trip to Jamrock youā€™ll return every time you sip a fine Jamaica Rum. ---
