Rivers is made completely by hand with a process that can only be described as ancient and terrifying. Lot's of very, very old equipment, blazing-hot fire, and open-air vats of pungent, brown bubbling sewage-looking liquid. Not to mention buildings that have all been around since the late 1700's.
So why subject yourself to this?
This is real rum.
This is what pirates would have been drinking. It's jarring, strong, with many different Carribean flavors all packed into an illegal-to-fly-on-a-plane-with-it proof. You taste local fruits, soil, spice, greasy gears, wood planks, that guy's shoes, (basically everything the rum comes in contact with in the open-air, hands-on process). And all of this with a flavor punch to the mouth that lingers for hours after you have it.
"You drink Rivers at 6 am, you will still taste it at 6 pm".
If you could somehow drink the island of Grenada, this is what it would taste like. No, this rum is not for everyone, and that's exactly how Grenada (and I) like it.

You’d better have your big boy pants on when releasing this from the bottle. Interesting history lesson for us rum heads. Made as it was when distillery was founded in 1783. Still use dried cane and wood for the boil and distillation process. Open fermentation as well.

All of this leads to some interesting ester flavors (banana,clove) and the cane/wood firing actually puts a little touch of smokiness. Then it absolutely burns every thing out of entire throat and sinus with the monster alcohol burn.

Needs to be home proofed down to start getting some flavor out of it otherwise it just burns you up.

Might be better off getting the proofed down blue label if you’re not adventurous.

It’s 75% abv is seriously overproof. It has a very clean taste with a slight sweet underdone. There is no burn to it and it is incredibly smooth.
