The Neisson Distillery, located in Carbet in the heart of Martinique, was founded in 1932 by the Neisson brothers. Jean, a chemical engineer by training, dedicated his entire career to perfecting the innovative distillation techniques that today give this house its worldwide reputation. His descendants, Claudine and then her son Grégory, proudly continue this family tradition with expertise. Since 2013, the distillery has committed to a transition to organic farming, launching in 2016 the first organic AOC Martinique rum aimed at the most demanding connoisseurs. Currently, more than 40 hectares of land benefit from this sustainable and ecological approach.
With recognized expertise, Neisson uses its own exclusive strains of indigenous yeasts, rigorously selected from those naturally present on the sugar canes grown on the estate. Furthermore, the distillery practices a careful selection of crop varieties to ensure their perfect adaptation to the specificities of each plot. Precise irrigation management promotes sustainable water savings, while an efficient effluent treatment system fully respects the natural balance. All these combined efforts allow Neisson to produce high-end agricultural rums in perfect harmony with the unique ecosystem of its lands.
This exceptional old rum, vintage 2014, bears the evocative name "The Rocking Chair". This rare cuvée reveals all the finesse and complexity of the aromas that long maturation imparts to this exceptional rum.
