SUMMARY— A study was made of the phenolic fraction of a Jamaica rum containing 75% ethanol. Identification of the phenols was performed by coupled gas chromatography and mass spectrometry and further by infrared spectrometry and thin layer chromatography. Phenol, p‐ethylphenol, o‐cresol, p‐cresol, guaiacol, p‐ethylguaiacol and dihydroeugenol were found in Jamaica rum for the first time; the presence of p‐methylguaiacol and eugenol was confirmed.
