Newfoundland Screech

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Newfoundland Screech is a particularly strong liquor sold in Newfoundland and originally imported from Jamaica, enjoys fame in many parts of Canada.

Screech is manufactured in a process very similar to most Rum, fermentation, distillation, aging and blending of sugarcane.

The Screech sold legally in liquor stores both in and outside of Newfoundland is blended and bottled by the Newfoundland and Labrador Liquor Corporation, which unlike its counterparts in other provinces has retained its bottling business (apparently so it can carefully control the quality of a product so closely identified with the province). However, consumers should be aware many Newfoundlanders do not view the NLC-bottled Screech as the genuine article, as stronger Screech that cannot be legally sold continues to be blended and distributed in an extra-legal manner.
