In a 10-5 vote, the VI Senate ratified a 30-year agreement between the government and Diageo PLC to build a new Captain Morgan rum distillery on St. Croix.The agreement, announced last month by Gov. John deJongh Jr., will bring production of the second-largest rum brand in the United States to the Virgin Islands and is projected to be worth close to $3 billion in new revenue for the Virgin Islands over the life of the deal.
The new facility will produce bulk rum beginning in 2011. Beginning in 2012, the distillery will supply all bulk rum used to make Captain Morgan branded products for the United States. Captain Morgan is a global leader among premium spirits and is the second leading rum consumed in the world, with steady growth expected in the coming years. It is estimated that the environmentally sound, state of the art distillery will have capacity to distill up to 20 million proof gallons per year. This 30-year commitment will provide a major economic stimulus for the entire Territory of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Click here for full press release!
