Sight Address : River Antoine Rum Distillery near the beautiful north east coast, Not far from Tivoli, not far from Lake Antoine. Edit
EditRiver Antoine Rum Distillery is the oldest Rum Factory in the western hemisphere and still operating with a water wheel. This is a distillery that runs all year.
A bit of a contradiction: the concentration of sugar in cane is at its highest during the dry season (January to May, in theory), but the water wheel which powers the cane press is obviously more likely to work when there is plenty of water in the river, i.e. in the rainy season (June – Dec., also in theory.)
The simplicity and the antiquity of the place beggar description. Bundles of cane are crushed twice, then placed in the island’s only railway truck which is trundled along the island’s only railway line for the very short trip to a tip. Here the cane dries in the sun and, now known as ‘bagasse’, is used as fertiliser for the cane fields (and elsewhere.) No other distillery in the entire Caribbean has been in operation as long as River Antoine, and very few have so carefully maintained traditional methods of rum preparation. Visitors can watch as rum is made in much the same manner that it was in the 18th century, when it fired the throats of the real buccaneers.
