Water is well-retained here, though a little breeze comes through from the sea to cut through the dampness. With its uneven slope cut into the vegetation this is one of the farms that most feels like an extension of the scrubby-green South Grenadian landscape rather than a distinct space in its own right. Tucked-away, despite the road, verdant despite the slope and still despite the sea; a small farm of paradoxes and singular character
The current Westerhall Estate and Rum Distillery has inherited the over 200-year-old legacy of the sugar estate that occupied the property. The two broken and crumbling waterwheels and aqueduct, though unused since the late 1800s, have been partially preserved. The huge dam overflows and runs through a small stream across the estate. A stone dates one of the buildings to 1800; the date the distillery acknowledges it began “distilling rum the traditional way.” After the demise of sugar in the late 1800s, the estate cultivated coconuts and cocoa, with the remnants of a boucan and cocoa trees illustrative of that change. It presently blends and bottles rum and operates under Westerhall Estate Rum Company.
