Clarkes Court #37 Blend Limited Edition. Released way back in 2010 this rum was produced to celebrate the 37th year of Grenada’s independence. Bit random but I guess it ties in with the distillery being established in 1937?.
Anyway for those not familiar with Clarkes Court they are the number one selling rum brand on Grenada.
Rivers Royale Grenadian Rum. Rivers is a historic brand of Overproof rum from the Caribbean Island of Grenada. It is not a Grenadine flavoured rum. Definitely not.
It is a rum a lot of Rum Enthusiasts will hear about. It has taken me quite a long time to try this. I finally found a store in the UK/Europe that had it in stock. Many, will hear about this rum but nowhere near as many will ever try Rivers Royale Grenadian Rum.
Bristol Classic Rum Reserve Rum of Grenada Distilled in 2003. It has been a long while since I have reviewed any of Bristol Classic Rum’s range. As far as I am aware they haven’t been all that active recently with new releases. This is a rum from the Westerhall Estate.
It has also been quite a while since I reviewed any rum from Grenada. I think the last thing I did on Grenada was an interview with Mark Reynier about the Renegade Rum project.
Westerhall Estate was once a bustling hive of sugar and rum production on the island of Grenada. Nowadays the Estate offers a visitors centre to remind visitors of the rum and sugar production of the past.
Rum is still produced under the Westerhall Estate brand. However, it is no longer rum made from native sugar cane, not is it made from rum distilled on the island. Westerhall’s rums are made from rum imported from Trinidad, bottled and blended on the island.
White Jack is a rum produced by Westerhall Estate. It is named White Jack as it is actually another celebrity tie in. None other than Jack White of The White Stripes commissioned this White Overproof rum.
Okay that’s a lie but it’s safe to say that when I tried to “Google” some information on White Jack, I got far more results about the Top Hat and Trilby wearing front man of the American Lo-Fi Garage Rock duo than I did about White Jack!
Westerhall Estate Jack Iron Rum is a lightly coloured overproof rum from Grenada.
Distillation of rum at Westerhall Estate no longer takes place. Instead rum is imported from the Angostura Distillery in Trinidad. It is then blended and bottled at what remains of the Westerhall Estate.
The Estate acts more as a bottling plant and visitor centre now. It is sad that so many distilleries no longer produce their own rums but unfortunately like so many smaller distillers – competing with the big hitters is proving increasingly difficult.
Westerhall Estate is situated on the Caribbean Island of Grenada. Since its inception it has existed in various guises. Presently Westerhall Estate blend and bottle their range of 6 rums.
Prior to this the estate has been an agricultural estate farming bananas, coconuts, limes and cocoa. It has also processed sugar cane, at one point it even had its own small distillery.
