Description

River Antoine Estate is located on the paradisiacal north-east coast of Grenada. Founded in 1785, the distillery produces one of the most legendary rums in the Caribbean: Rivers. The white rum, produced in very limited quantities using traditional and natural processes, was only sold on the Caribbean island itself and was not available for export. Until recently. La Maison and Velier are now bringing this rarity to fans in Europe. We have secured supplies for Kirsch Import customers.

River Antoine Estate grows its own sugar cane on 15 hectares near the Atlantic according to organic standards. Harvested by hand, the sweet grass is crushed using an antique water mill. The reason: Production runs completely without electricity. Only around 3,000 liters of the fresh sugar cane juice can be processed daily. To do this, River Antoine Estate is the only distillery in the world to concentrate the juice in metal pans over an open fire. After spontaneous, wild fermentation and distillation in John Dore Double Twisted Pot Stills, the lush rum is bottled slightly diluted at 75% vol. - there is a "light version" for export with 69% vol.
