Westerhall
In 1766, Lieutenant-Colonel Alexander Johnstone, son of the 3rd Baronet of Westerhall in Dumfries, Scotland, bought a sugar cane estate in southern Grenada and named it after his Scottish ancestral seat. Westerhall remains privately owned to this day - held by the Williams and Wells families since the early 1940s - and a genuine rarity in the rum world: only three casks are distilled here daily in traditional pot stills. It wasn't until 2014 that Grenadian entrepreneur Annabel Kingsman and her father Nick decided to offer the rum, previously sold only regionally, to international markets - for over two centuries before that, Westerhall remained an insider's tip among neighbouring islands.Why does a Grenadian distillery carry a Scottish name?
Founder Alexander Johnstone named his sugar cane estate, acquired in 1766, after his family seat of Westerhall in Dumfries, Scotland - a piece of Scottish colonial history in the middle of the Caribbean.
Why did Westerhall only become internationally known in 2014?
For over two centuries, the distillery supplied only neighbouring Caribbean islands. It wasn't until 2014 that Annabel Kingsman and her father Nick decided to market the rum internationally too.
Flavour profile
Taste: Bold and spiced with tropical fruit and an elegant wine-cask note from finishing in Château Margaux casks.
Recommended enjoyment: Neat as a digestif, to enjoy the rare combination of bourbon cask maturation and fine wine cask finish.
Facts and figures
Estate acquired 1766 by Alexander Johnstone. Privately owned since the early 1940s (Williams and Wells families). Only three casks distilled daily in pot stills. Marketed internationally since 2014.
