Experts in single cask Rum



The start

Founded in 1984 by Benjamin J. Cross de Chavannes
The Main Rum Company Ltd was founded in 1984 by Ben Cross De Chavannes, formerly employed at Booker Sugar. During his tenure at Booker Sugar, Ben sought out barrel-aged Rum for maturation in Liverpool. With strong ties within the industry forged through friendly relationships, Ben was able to purchase such supplies for long-term maturation, which has continued over the years.



Through the years

One stop Rum shop
In 2001, The Main Rum Company merged with E&A Scheer, a Dutch company that offers bespoke Rum blends in bulk. E&A Scheer provides a wide range of Rums, from light Rum to aged and high-ester Rum blends. Combining services, we are now a one-stop-shop for all your Rum needs.



Expansion

A company with a unique selection of cask aged Rums
The Main Rum Company holds a unique selection of rare and cask aged Rums. These single casks are typically bottled as limited-edition offerings for the high-end categories of the marketplace. We provide Rums with tropical and/or continental ageing, Rums from closed distilleries, and Rums matured in different wood types.



Future

Preparing for the future
Our procurement team is always looking for new distilleries and unique casks to ensure we stay at the forefront of the aged Rum market.
