"The Grenada Sugar Factory, producer of Clarkes Courts products, has been in operation for over 65 years. Clarkes Court products are made under the expertise of our trained distillers using fresh sugar cane juice mixed with rich, dark molasses and distilled using our own secret traditional methods. During the harvesting season, sugar canes are removed from storage then passed through the mill." Explains Kenrick Smith, Quality Controller, Grenada Sugar Factory.

"Milling involves juice extraction as well as bagass production. The bagass is used as fuel which is burnt in the boiler’s furnace. The extracted juice undergoes purification which involves liming, heating, clarification and mud removal. The purified juice then undergoes evaporation which is the removal of water from the juice. By removing the water during evaporation the sugars become concentrated.

The end result of evaporation is syrup. The syrup is then diluted with water and dispensed for fermentation. Fermentation is the consumption of sugars by live organisms, that is yeast where the production of alcohol, heat and carbon dioxide is a by-product. The fermented beer or water as it is called goes to the distillery where it is fractionally distilled, concentrated to 95.5% alcohol by volume or 190 proof. The heads are removed. Fractional distillation is in a nutshell separating the spirit needed from the impurities. The high proof spirit is stored for blending, ageing and bottling.

Our innovative style and approach have led to a range of fine rums, a unique tasting rum punch, and a delicately spiced liqueur. Gold award winners for the Pure White, Special Dark, Old Grog and Rum Lemon at the 2001 Caribbean Rum Fest Competition. While in Grenada you can visit the Hospitality Centre to sample any of the products for the true spirit of Grenada."
