What to Buy on the Isle of Spice

Rum from Grenada

Rum

First of all, you cannot visit the Caribbean and not take back some of the rum with you. That is why we recommend that you at least try some of the local rum, which is distilled from sugar cane. It is usually mixed with a variety of local spices to give it a flavour all of its own.

There are several different brands to choose from, but the most sought after one is the River Antoine Rum, which is distilled at the oldest Rum Factory on the island. It has a very high alcohol content, so we do recommend that you sit while drinking it. The demand for this type of rum is such that it can hardly be found in the shops, and is sold out in no time at all.

The next most popular brand is Westerhall Rum, which is normally for export. It is not bottled in large quantities, but it can usually be found in the stores.

Nutmeg & Guava Jam

These are some of the more popular local jams on the market. They are all made locally and give you that taste which says Isle of Spice. They can be purchased in any of the local supermarkets, or directly from the factory, La Grenade Industries.

Grenada Spices

Local Soaps, Oils, Perfumes & Spices

Why not get some tropical handicrafts by Arawak Islands. All their products are locally made.

T-shirts

While there are a lot of places where you can purchase t-shirts on the island, if you would prefer good quality at affordable prices, then we would suggest that you pay a visit to Ganzee. The shop is situated in the Esplanade Mall, and offers duty free shopping. Also available are Batik work and paintings, both of which are in the heart of the town.

And of course, SPICES....SPICES.... SPICES! You will find them everywhere.
