The Neisson Distillery is located in Carbet, Martinique, a region renowned for its exceptional terroir dedicated to the production of agricultural rum. Founded in 1932 by the Neisson brothers, this family establishment perpetuates a unique know-how passed down from generation to generation. Jean Neisson, a chemical engineer by training, revolutionized distillation techniques through his innovations. His descendants, Claudine and then her son Grégory, continue this heritage with passion and rigor. Since 2013, the distillery has committed to a sustainable approach of conversion to organic farming, culminating in 2016 with the launch of the very first organic AOC Martinique rum. To date, more than 40 hectares of land are cultivated according to these strict principles, promoting biodiversity and respect for the local environment. After many years of meticulous research, Neisson now uses its own strains of indigenous yeasts, carefully selected from those naturally present on the distillery's sugar canes, thus ensuring authentic and high-quality fermentations. The judicious choice of crop varieties adapted to each plot, optimized irrigation management to preserve water resources, as well as exemplary treatment of effluents, fully contribute to the production of exceptional agricultural rums, in perfect harmony with the preserved ecosystem of the Neisson lands.
This exceptional white rum, made from sugar cane in organic conversion, proudly bears the name "La Lavandière Verte". It perfectly embodies the spirit of authenticity, tradition, and sustainable innovation that characterizes the Neisson range.
