View moreOil down is the national dish of Grenada, a humble dish from a humble country and a flavorful one-pot meal consisting of local vegetables, starchy tubers, green bananas, salty meat, and a blend of various seasonings. The ingredients are all combined in a big pot and cooked in coconut milk, giving the dish its name, referring to the coconut milk as it simmers and gets absorbed by all the other ingredients until only the coconut oil remains on the bottom of the pot.
The preparation of this dish is important as the dish itself, because it is traditionally cooked over an open fire on the beaches where families spend their whole days and everybody pitches in to help so that a true communal feeling emerges while the dish cooks for a few hours.

Dunfermline (Column Still) by Renegade is a rum made using a column still. Renegade Distillery is known for its innovative approach to rum production, often blending traditional techniques with modern distillation methods. The use of a column still allows for continuous distillation, producing a cleaner and smoother rum, which is often higher in alcohol content and purity compared to rum made with pot stills.
The Dunfermline rum is likely crafted with a focus on high quality, and its smoothness and refinement reflect the distillery’s expertise in the art of rum making. While the exact flavor profile can vary, rum made with column stills typically has a lighter body, with potential notes of vanilla, caramel, and a hint of tropical fruit, as well as a well-rounded finish.
