Founded by the brothers Adrien and Hildebert-Pamphile, known as Jean, the NEISSON distillery remains family-owned to this day. The Neisson family is the only farm on Martinique with its own sugarcane fields. In 1932, by decree of the governor, the family founded a distillery named Carbet on the Thieubert estate. In the early days, Adrien took care of the fields while his brother studied chemistry in Paris to establish a foundation for distillation. Since then, the knowledge of the two brothers has been passed down from generation to generation.

As part of Napoleon's Continental Blockade in 1806, it was forbidden to continue producing sugar on the French Caribbean islands; the aim was to strengthen domestic sugar beet and put an end to cane sugar imported from England and Spain. This posed a challenge for the farmers on the islands who were already producing rum
because they were no longer allowed to produce the by-product of sugar production, molasses, yet they needed molasses to make rum. There was a brief period of experimentation, and it was quickly discovered that it could also be made directly from pressed sugarcane juice. With the advantage that the minerals  stored by the sugarcane in the stalk and therefore also in the juice
were also reflected in the flavor of the rhum, known as terroir. Over time, this developed into Rhum Agricole with additional rules: No sugar may be added.   No artificial coloring. Fresh sugarcane juice must be used. Processing must take place no later than 24h after harvest. Oak casks or stainless steel tanks must be used for aging

At NEISSON, cask aging takes place directly and exclusively on Martinique,
so it is a tropically aged rhum. The basic structure of the distillate is
clearly present across all age levels; NEISSON works with different
alcohol profiles to tease different aromas out of the cask, a
exciting and unique way (throughout the entire Caribbean) to age rhum.

The sugarcane is grown on the North Caribbean terroir, whose
soils are only slightly developed, on volcanic pumice from the Pelee Mountains, with a sandy-clay texture. These plots are characterized
by strong sunlight and low rainfall with a very
high day-temperature amplitude during Lent (harvest time). The
mineral character of the soils is reflected in the aroma of the rhum.

This sweet grass (like corn, wheat, oats, etc.) has been cultivated by humans since about 5000 BC, initially as a fodder plant and later used as a source of sweetness. From three
places in the world (Papua New Guinea, South China, and India), the journey westward begins via the Silk Road, eventually reaching the Mediterranean around 500 AD. On his third voyage, Christopher Columbus successfully took cuttings of this plant with him, and thus began its triumphant advance throughout Central America. The three bases for rum production are obtained from sugarcane: fresh sugarcane juice, sugarcane syrup (Virgin Cane Honey or Melao), or molasses. One of these bases is fermented and distilled. If distillation takes place at least twice, it is called Rohrum; before that, it is Aguardiente (firewater), which is then aged in wooden casks. In the wooden casks, Rohrum acquires additional aromas; depending on where it is stored, this is referred to as tropical aging (in an island climate at sea level), temperate aging (near the place of production and often well above sea level), or continental aging (transported, for example, to Europe). After aging, the liquid is reduced to the chosen drinking strength and bottled

NEISSON is a small rum distillery in Le Carbet in the northwest of the island of Martinique, about ten kilometers south of the old capital Saint Pierre and within sight of the Mont Pelée volcano. The distillery is located only a few hundred meters from the sea and is picturesquely surrounded by sugarcane fields. NEISSON is, alongside La Favorite in Fort de France, the only family-owned distillery on Martinique.
