At Green Island, we are committed to bringing our clients authentic and unique products from around the world that are made to a very high standard. Wherever possible our distilleries are traditional and family owned and operated. Many of our brands are handcrafted with small production which offers light relief from the many mass produced and universally available products that dominate the market. We are also very selective in choosing where our brands are placed, preferring to sell only to top-end on-trade outlets where there is a proven passion for quality products. This exclusivity means our clients are guaranteed in turn, a Unique Selling Proposition for their customers. We started with rum from Mauritius and now are the sole importers to the UK from 3 different distilleries on the island. Mauritius is perhaps the only island to produce both; traditional rum made from molasses and rum Agricole which is made from free-run sugar cane juice. This factor is due to the fascinating and unique history of the island, It’ important for us that our clients are aware of this background and consequently we offer comprehensive training and tasting session on Mauritius and its rum for staff and the general public.
