thadley 15 Posted May 7, 2017 1785 (not sure but it is very old) building on a Sugar Cane rum producing plantation covered with bouganvillea. Grenada. Link to comment
thadley 15 Posted May 7, 2017 This is a building on a rum plantation in Grenada (Caribbean) which dates back to 1785. Maybe it has been upgraded or rebuilt so I don't know for sure if it is the original building. What I liked was how it was covered almost entirely with bouganvillea flowers which must have been growing for many years to get to this height and volume. The River Antoine Estate produces a variety of agricultural products, but is best known for its rum. Sugar cane, grown on the estate, is crushed in the water-powered cane mill. The fresh-squeezed juice flows down a wooden sluice to the boiling house, where it is cooked in cast-iron pots over an open fire of dried cane stalks and wood. As the juice is ladled from pot to pot to thicken the sweet liquid, tempering lime is added to precipitate the unwanted impurities and to aid fermentation. Link to comment
