Food Production - Basseterre, Saint George Basseterre Parish, Saint Kitts and Nevis
The Old Road Rum Company exists to re-establish rum production on the Wingfield Estate, a site of considerable historical significance, located in the Old Road community of St. Kitts.The company was inspired by the discovery of a rum distillery on the estate, dated to 1681 by the records of Christopher Jeffreson (original spelling), the owner at that time and ancestor of America's 3rd President, Thomas Jefferson. The discovery, and supporting documentation, means the Wingfield Estate is home to the oldest intact rum distillery in the Caribbean.
