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. Read more to see the fatrumpirate rating
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.

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.
