Distillation Process: The distillation process begins with raw materials like Grains/ Molasses, which are grinded in order to make it a MASH. During this process, the starch is converted into sugar. The fermentation of this mash is carried out in fermentation tanks. The fermented mash is then fed to distillation columns, depending on the type of grains used in order to get different grades of alcohol. The fermentation process is suitably designed to handle different feed stocks such as molasses, cane/sorghum juice, beet, banana and all starchy feed stock.
Here, in the distillery house, molasses were taken to be produced into rum
Coffee, sugar and banana plantations
In a sugar plantation, a distillery is responsible for processing the sugarcane to produce ethanol or rum through the process of fermentation and distillation. The distillery converts the sugarcane juice or molasses into alcohol, which can be used for various purposes such as fuel, beverages, or industrial applications.
The Portuguese had sugar plantations in Madeira and Sao Tome islands.
To the best of my knowledge, the Catholic Church, itself, never owned any sugar plantations, many of the people who owed sugar plantations were Catholic, but their plantations did not belong to the church.

Hawaii is the Pacific state known for having large sugar plantations, although most of these plantations have been phased out in recent years.
Jamaica was a large sugar producer during the sugar trade, and there were thousands of African slaves there to work on the plantations.
The Caribbean
a larger percentage of female slaves-apex
sugarcane is first converted to sugar and the waste called molasses is left,which is send to the distillery to prepare alcohol from it
Because the Caribbean has such a tropical climate, many of the countries have established sugar plantations. It appears that the Netherlands did not establish sugar plantations in the Caribbean.
