St. Lucia Distillers is being commended for its continued confidence in Saint Lucia’s economic development through the expansion of its facilities in the Roseau Valley. Over the past 18 months, the premier rum producer in the Eastern Caribbean, under strict adherence to COVID-19 protocols, built three new cellars with a capacity of storing 12,000 oak barrels.
At the official commissioning, Prime Minister Allen Chastanet, who headed the list of dignitaries, noted the commitment of GBH in spite of the global pandemic. Bernard Hayot, the President of GBH, the parent company of St. Lucia Distillers, was also present.
The construction of the new cellars is one of three projects earmarked by GBH since it acquired the distillery in 2016. The first ensured that award-winning rums produced by St. Lucia Distillers got profiled and marketed globally. Another project is the development of a rum and heritage attraction in the Roseau Valley. This was welcomed by the district Parliamentary Representative, Dominic Fedee, who is also the Minister Tourism.
The next major development at St. Lucia Distillers will be the Rum and Heritage Tour, which will be situated on a 25-acre site. It will incorporate the distillery and a sugar plantation.
