Founded by the brothers Adrien and Hildebert-Pamphile, known as Jean, the NEISSON distillery is still family-owned today. The Neisson family is the only farm on Martinique with its own sugar cane 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 presented the farmers on the islands who were already producing rum
with a challenge, as they were no longer allowed to produce molasses, the by-product of sugar production, yet they needed molasses to make rum. People experimented briefly and very quickly discovered that it could also be made directly from pressed sugar cane juice. With the advantage that the minerals that the sugar cane had stored in the stalk and therefore also in the juice,
were also reflected in the taste of the rhum, known as terroir. Over time, this evolved into Rhum Agricole with additional rules: No sugar may be added.   No artificial coloring. Fresh sugar cane 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 at all age levels; NEISSON works with different
alcohol profiles to tease different aromas out of the cask, a
exciting and unique way (in the entire Caribbean) to age rhum.

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

Sweet grass (like corn, wheat, oats, etc.) has been cultivated by humans since around 5000 BC, initially as a fodder plant and later as a source of sweetness. From three
places in the world (Papua New Guinea, South China, and India), the journey westward began along the Silk Road, eventually reaching the Mediterranean around 500 AD. On his third voyage, Christopher Columbus successfully brought seedlings of this plant with him, and thus began its triumphant spread throughout Central America. The three bases for rum production are obtained from sugar cane: fresh sugar cane juice, sugar cane syrup (Virgin Cane Honey or Melao), or molasses. One of these bases is fermented and distilled. If the distillation takes place at least twice, it is called rum; before that it is Aguardiente (firewater), which is then aged in wooden casks. In the wooden casks, the rum 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 selected 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 sugar cane fields. NEISSON is, alongside La Favorite in Fort de France, the only family-owned distillery on Martinique.
