Rivers Rum is not just a spirit; it is a living piece of history, crafted at the legendary River Antoine Estate on the coast of Grenada since 1785. This is one of the most iconic and authentic rums in the world, made using methods that have remained unchanged for centuries. The process begins with organic sugarcane, grown just steps from the beach and crushed by the Caribbean's last operating waterwheel, built in 1840. This impressive waterwheel is the distillery's sole source of power, making the entire operation completely off-grid.
The fresh cane juice is concentrated into a light syrup over a fire fueled by leftover sugarcane fiber. It then undergoes a wild, spontaneous fermentation in open-air concrete vats for up to ten days before being distilled in direct-fire pot stills. The result is a wild and opulent spirit, bottled with absolutely no additives, coloring, or sugar. This "flight proof" version is bottled at 69% ABV, a slightly lower proof than the 75% ABV version enjoyed by Grenadians on the island. A taste of Rivers is an unforgettable experience, offering a pure and powerful expression of Grenadian terroir and tradition.
