Grenadian Rum Rivers River Antoine

The Pure Single Rhum Agricole River Antoine is produced in Granada, in the Caribbean, in this small distillery whose energy is produced only by a majestic water mill. In fact, the distillery is not connected to the local electricity grid.

Thanks to the mill, the sugar cane is pressed, the juice of which is then distilled. The sugar cane is owned, grown naturally, or purchased from small local farmers, who grow it near the distillery. The juice then passes into the Boiling House, where it is concentrated by cooking in "batteries", using a "bagasse"-powered oven below. The 78-80% concentrated cooked juice is fermented for a long time, for about 7-8 days, thanks to wild yeasts only, in 11,000 liter cement tanks. The distillation takes place in two double retort copper stills, assembled with pieces from different historical producers such as Forsyths, Vendome and John Dore. The two stills are powered by direct wood fire. Bottling and labeling are manual.

There are hints of fruit and spices, with a long persistence.

It is best enjoyed smooth.
