The most popular brand in Grenada, is made by the Grenada Sugar Factory Limited. It is situated in the Woodlands Valley, in the parish of St. George's, and has been in operation since 1937. What makes Clarke's Court rum unique, is that they use mostly local fresh crushed cane juice, in the preparation of their range of fine rums.
In 1993, 1995 and 2001 Special Dark Rum, won gold medals, at the international "Rumfest," in Barbados. Also, their Superior Light Rum has received top recognition, with a gold medal, in 1993 and 2001. Their Old Grog is a smooth blend of aged rums, while their flagship Original White Rum is a 138 proof, strong rum. Each rum is distinctive, with is own character.
