We are excited to announce that Six Saints Sauternes Cask Finish has won Gold at this year’s World Rum Awards. Additionally, it has been named the Style Winner in the non-age statement column still category.

The judges highlighted: “Savory aromas transition to a sweet flavor of pecan and maple, combined with notes of oak and caramel. A delightful nuttiness of peanut, pecan, and maple appears. Toffee and dried fruits lead to a dry finish with a gradual intensification of baking spices.”

For our Cask Finish range, we age the same high-quality Grenadian rum for an extra 6 months in a variety of casks.

Authenticity Bottled

Produced and aged on Grenada in the Caribbean, Six Saints is a rum from a single distillery. It authentically represents the island’s traditions, using only natural ingredients.

Named after the island’s six saintly parishes, our rum embodies Grenada’s pristine beauty and pure lifestyle. This way of life is reflected in all the islanders’ activities and is a key feature of our rum. Six Saints is crafted without any added sugars, flavors, or colorings, consisting of just three ingredients – water, yeast, and molasses – and over 200 years of rum-making heritage.

We employ a long fermentation process, lasting three to four days, to naturally develop more aromas and flavors. The rum is then distilled using direct-fired twin-column stills made by John Dore in Scotland. It is aged for 5 years in ex-bourbon casks under tropical conditions.

Heritage

Six Saints is crafted by the third generation of distillers at Grenada Distillers, situated in the parish of St. George in the southern part of the island.

The distillery is located on land that has been used for sugarcane cultivation since the 18th century, with historical records showing a distillery on the estate as early as 1895.

Initially part of the Grenada Sugar Factory and housed in the same building, rum production at this site began in 1937. While the sugar factory equipment now lies inactive, visitors can still admire the large steam engine that once powered the machinery. Records suggest the last sugar processing occurred no earlier than 1997.

Since then, the site has been exclusively dedicated to rum distillation, producing 400 gallons of pure Caribbean rum each day.
