According to the supplier, they are the only ginger ales in the market to be made with an authentic Jamaican root ginger.

Old Jamaica has launched the new varieties as the ginger ale market is seeing 20% year-on-year growth, which the supplier attributes to its versatility. Ginger ale can pair with clear and dark spirits, as well as enjoyed on its own.
