Vanilla Rhum

Or maybe in a bag of coffee beans.

In Marie-Galant they only use fresh pressed sugarcane juice rather than molasses to make the rum. You can find it in St. Martin if you look carefully but if you ever get a chance a trip to the distilleries is well worth the effort. Some of the cane growers still use Oxen carts in the fields and roads. It's like stepping back in time over a hundred years.

. . . sounds like it would be a wonderful experience!

It is, and quite possibly the best rum to be found anywhere on the planet for the foodies out there.

On Grenada there is, or was about ten years ago, a demonstration rum distillery which took fresh cane from the fields, crushed it, cooked the juice and distilled it, right before your eyes. Raw, and I do mean raw, rum emerged from a small tap, and directly into a bottle.It was called "Rivers" Royale Grenadian Rum, from the River Antoine Estate. Estimated to be 'slightly overproof', it must be 150 proof, or so. Rough stuff; it would make moonshine seem like ambrosia.

Made our own long batch once.
Made the mistake of taking someone's advice who said it didn't matter if cheap rum was used.
Wrong! Now we make a short batch with an excellent rum and are very happy with the results! Andy's remains our all-time favorite---perhaps for old times sake---with La Gloriette's topping the charts today
