Neisson, the Jewel of Martinique

Neisson Distillery's exceptional rums are deeply influenced by the terroir of Martinique, a key element that sets it apart in the world of rum. The distillery's location near Mount Pelée means its sugarcane benefits from rich volcanic ash soil, high sunlight exposure, and the perfect balance of rain and temperature variations. This unique environment contributes to the sugarcane's quality, directly impacting the rum's flavor profile.

Fermentation at Neisson is a carefully controlled process, utilizing natural yeasts that accentuate the sugarcane's inherent flavors. This step is crucial, as it lays the foundation for the rum's aromatic complexity, ranging from floral to citrus notes. Neisson's commitment to small-batch production and meticulous attention to every detail of the fermentation and distillation processes ensures a product that's both authentic and of unparalleled quality.

What truly makes Neisson unique in Martinique is its dedication to preserving traditional methods while embracing innovation.
