Antigua and Barbuda are islands between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, east-southeast of Puerto Rico. Rum is in Antigua and Barbuda produced from imported Guyanan sugar cane molasses.

Here is list of companies whose rum bottle labels I have in my collection:

Angelo Barreto, Bolans Village(0)
Antigua Distillery Ltd., St John's(8)
Jumby Bay(1)
Montpelier Sugar Factory(0)
Red Pirate Rhum Works(0)

 

Rum was probably made here soon after the first cane was planted around 1650; contemporary accounts suggest it was made in a "light" style (for its time). By 1764, there were 300 plantations on the island; by 1879, 15 000 acres of cane were being processed in seventy-eight factories. By 1939, there were two.
