When we first visited Anguilla in 2007, we learned that there was a rum factory on the island, Pyrat Rums. As our vacations are oftentimes associated with some type of distilled beverage, it was a natural place to visit. The factory was located in Sandy Ground.
We stopped in, only to learn that there were no tours that day and we should schedule a time to visit. We returned at our appointed time, and learned that there was no distilling at this location, but instead that the rum was produced elsewhere in the islands and that it was blended and bottled in Anguilla. That’s also when we learned that Pyrat was a brand presently owned by the Patron company, known for their tequilas. We participated in a tasting and were introduced to a unique rum, Savage, which had wonderful orange flavors and was available only on Anguilla.
Upon our trip back in 2010, we saw that the factory had closed. So if anyone know where to find Savage today, please let me know, because as you can see, our reserves have dried up.
