64 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN OCTOBER 2019 PREFERRED VENDOR n Coreas Distribution Limited www.coreasdistribution.com We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the St Vincent Distillery and Captain Bligh on their gold medal winning achievement. They continue to produce some of the finest rum in the world! Topping the agenda for the future are plans for upgrading the still with the construction of a new column to increase production. Also planned is a third aging barn, possibly launching a new brand of rum, and, perhaps, a different type of alcohol beverage. Greaves has her own positive outlook, stating, “I think the rum industry will continue to thrive. With the forging forward of tourism, agriculture, and manufacturing, economic growth on St. Vincent is inevitable. Rum sells and I have no doubt that we will keep on producing, successfully. Even though we are a small distillery we make quality products and we are very careful with our distillation and fermentation. Whenever we put our rums into taste test competitions, regionally and internationally, they are constantly getting Gold awards because of the exceptional taste – and we all share in the pride for that.”
