At Diamond Reserve, we take responsibility for the way we source OUR RAW MATERIALS, distill, and deliver our demerara rums. The impact we have on the environment is just as important has the rum we make.
Our bio-methane plant converts our liquid waste from the distilling process to energy to power our distillery. Now, 55 percent of our energy comes from the biomethanisation plant. The rest of our power is fuelled by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), which emits 20% less carbon as compared to conventional diesel combustion.
