Old Liming Tanks |
Although the Juice Heaters and Liming Tanks have not been used since 2003, one can imagine the sight of all of these components harmoniously functioning together to clarify the crushed cane juice as the truckloads of sugar cane rolled in.

Off to the Hospitality Center...a.k.a., Nick's Barrel House!!

Tasting Bar Nick's Barrel House |
The full line of rums at the bar for tasting is hospitality indeed. In front of the bar one can sit and enjoy in finished seats, once rum barrels and look across at their display (see photo below). Oh, did I mention, they sell and ship them? Getting to know each of the expressions in their line and talk with the staff is what it's all about. Many of their award winning rums are good value, including their recently released aged rum, Clarke's Court #37. Yum!
Take a seat and marinate in an old rum barrel!

A closing note on the potency of Grenada's Rum...
Rum was being produced in Grenada during the 18th century. Indeed, it played a significant role during the 1795 Fedon Rebellion as a means of rendering British troops unfit for battle.
--Ruel Edwards, General Manager, Clarke's Court

ReplyDeleteToo bad they didn't have the fermentation process that day, I'm more interested in how they keep the flavor of rum. However, Clarkes gave me a great idea about the barrel seats, thanks!-Jonathan

ReplyDeletegreat poetry about Weighing scale.
currently i am using digital weighing scale which show me accurate result.
Many Digital Weighing Scale Manufacturers In this world which is full of all sorts of modern and latest technology instruments or equipments it's not strange that all the traditional weighing scales which we were using since years have been replaced by the digital scales. But still there are number of people who have mixed opinions for these digital and mechanical weighing scales, more than ever when it comes to the installation of a weighing scale at any medical facility or hospitals, almost every one in nursing department looks for the digital weighing scales, while still there are many who prefers mechanical scales. Thanks
