Plantation and Distillery tour!!!

[A large blue bus with a kitty-driver stands at the ready, and the
community kitties begin to fill it up. Miles and RastaCatJohn are
there to greet everycat, and to move stragglers along.]

Welcome and good morning kitties! A cup of coffee and an almond
croissant are by each cushion for you to nibble on as we drive. Today,
we are going to the Monymusk sugarcane plantation, which is one of the
oldest in Jamaica - kitty version, that is, to see how sugarcane is
harvested and turned into that beautiful, sweet spirit, Rum! Then we
will have a bite of lunch, and then relax with rum drinks on the cool,
shaded porches of the plantation house before we return. So den, Iz
eberykitty reddy? HaHaHa. I thought so, HaHaHa....

[The bus winds up a mountain for a while and then pulls into a gated
plantation. It stops near the fields, and our community kitties
disembark.]

Kitties, this is Nigel [Another RastaCat with dredlocks waves and
approaches the community cats] and he will join us to lead the tour of
the plantation and distillery.

Meow, kitties and welcome to Jamaica. Let's walk to the cane fields.
Now when humans harvest cane, they do it in the scorching sun and by
hand - very back-breaking labor. But we kitties do it by night - not
only so we don't cross the humans - but because its cooler, and most
kitties like moonlight! Being shorter, we can get to the bottom of the
sugarcane easier than humans, and we use mechanized tractors [a cat on
one drives by and waves, and proceeds to demonstrate] to grasp each
cane and saw it off. It falls behind, and a kitty on a fork-lift,
lifts it onto a trailer. When the trailer is full, another kitty hooks
up a tractor and drives it to the sugarcane house. [They watch the
entire operation]

Now, kitties, lets visit the cane house. [They walk in and observe
cats working cat-sized machinery] First the cane is stripped, then fed
into these presses which squeeze the sugarcane juice out. Here, taste
some! [offers a little cup to anycat]. Now, mon, most of the juice is
then made into sugar, and the leftover, thick brown liquid is called
molasses - and that's what most rum is made from. But on the French
islands, rum is made right from the cane juice, for a different
flavor, and here in our kitty-distilleries we do it both ways. Let's
take a look. [Walks to the left by vats of cane-juice]

Now, mon, these kitties are Phillipe and Jean-Claude - they came here
after the earthquake in Haiti destroyed their distillery, and they
ferment the cane-juice here, and then distil it in pot stills into
rum, like it has been done for centuries on Haiti and Martinique. Now
over here on the right [walks by vats of molasses] is where the
molasses based rum is fermented before it is distilled. Most Caribbean
islands ferment it for a few days to a week, but here in Jamaica,
molasses for rum is fermented like sourdough with a little from the
last batch used as starter, for at least three weeks before
distillation. Dat gives it the tangy and dark quality, full of flavor!
Here you can smell it fermenting. [Opens a vat and the strong smell
wafts out] HaHaHa, yes, it IS strong, and some don't like it, but it
makes beautiful rum! Da fermented cane-juice or molasses is cawled
"mash" and it is what is distilled.

Letz go into the distilling rooms. [In a separate area, large copper
spheres with tear-drop shaped tops are lined up, heated by fires.]
Dese are cawled Alembic, or pot stills - made of copper - and all fine
whiskey, rum and cognac are distilled dis way in dese pot stills.
Alcohol fermented in pot stills keeps da flavor characteristics of the
mash, and datz why rum, burbon, rye and scotch are distilled in pot
stills. "White" spirits are distilled in industrial sized column
stills, and hab liddle flabor ob da mash. Now we distil the cane-juice
rum and the molasses rum on different days, and you can see it in
action. First da fermented molasses or cane juice mash is heated
almost to a boil, and da steem goes up into the narrow top, then into
the neck, and out into those copper coils which are in cold-water
baths. What is condensed, kitties, is alcohol, with awl ob da flaborz
ob the fermented mash. [Walks everyone over to show them the alcohol
collecting in barrels] We distil it twice in da pot stills, but itz
not reddy to drink. Nope. Not for many yeerz. We put it into barrelz -
all made ob oak, but sum distillers uze charred oak, sum new oak, and
sum use barrelz dat hab preebiously been used to age sherry - eech
gibs a different, but luffly result. As da yeerz pass, da rum becomz
soft and mellow, and picks up many subtle flaborz.

Ober dere is da agink shed [opens door into huge warehouse with racks
and racks of barrels, all neatly marked] where da rum agez for yeerz.
So let me take you ober to some. [moves to a row of sample barrels].
Now herez sum fibe yeer cane-juice rum and den sum fibe yeer molasses
rum, den sum 10-yeer, and sum 20 yeer. Letz taste sum, hokay! [A cheer
goes up from RastaCatJohn and a some enthusiastic members of the
community].

[He passes out small glasses, and fills them up with each rum, passing
them to everycat] Now letz start wif da fibe-yeer owld. First da
sugarcane juice rum - it's sweet and mild some obertones ob tropical
froots, non? Den da Jamaican molasses - see, it has dat tangy,
sourdough background - duzzent it? Now the 10 yeer. Ahhhh, kitties! A
marked difference eh? Sweet and smooth - each style tastes good, but
different. And now the 20-yeer owld. UmUmUm! It's smooth as brushed
fur! Obertones ob vanilla and orange in the cane-juice rum, full
bodied but soooooo smooth. And owr Jamaican rum has that brown-sugar,
caramel obertone wif a liddle orange too.

So kitties - now yoo know about how rum is made. You might ask - which
is the best rum? And we'll tell you - [turns to RastaCatJohn and
Miles, and the three of them laugh in unison:] The one in your glass
right now! HaHaHa!

Now letz walk back to the plantation house, where you can ask
questionz ober lunch. [they walk back, and find, under the shaded
porch, long tables with plates of tropical fruits and cheeses,
followed by fish, lobster and shrimp, then platters of duck,and
chicken and pork. Cushions are set in inviting groupings,around low
tables. A long bar with many bar-cats is set up, loaded with nip and
non-nip drinks] Well, kitties, lets eet and drink! The Barcats can
make Mojitos, El Floriditas, Planters Punch - well any rum drink you
can name! So now, are dere any questions abowt rum and how itz made?
