Fermented molasses is piped to the top of the analyzing column of the still at a rate of 500 to 550 gallons per hour. The liquid pours over a series of flat plates in the column where it evaporates, and the resulting distilled alcohol collects in the rectification column of the still where it is drawn off at a strength of approximately 95% alcohol. It is piped to stainless steel holding tanks, where it is tested by taste and smell to detect unwanted trace flavours. It is also tested chemically for trace elements that may be undesirable. Adustments are made and the rum is then ready to be laid down in casks for aging. At the end of the aging period several barrels of rum of similar aging periods
are blended together in one of two large oak mixing vats. At this point the rum is 75-77% alcohol. Water is added to reduce the alcohol to 40%. Caramel is added for colour. The finished rum is filtered and pumped to the bottling station (the rum line), where it is bottled, labeled and boxed for shipment. Antigua Distillery ages its rum in 200 litre once-used bourbon barrels which are charred on the inside to give extra depth of flavour to the rum. The aging period is never less than 2 years, and ranges from 2-10 years, with the occasional batch aged as long as 25 years.
