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 posed a challenge for the farmers already producing rum on the islands as they were no longer allowed to produce molasses, the by-product of sugar production, because they needed molasses to make rum. Brief experiments followed, and it was 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 thus also in the juice,
were also reflected in the taste of the rhum, known as terroir. Over time, this developed into Rhum Agricole with further rules: No added sugar is permitted.   No artificial coloring. Fresh sugar cane juice must be used. Processing must take place no later than 24h after harvest. Oak barrels or stainless steel tanks must be used for maturation At NEISSON, cask maturation takes place directly and exclusively on Martinique,so it is a tropically matured rhum. The basic structure of the distillate is clearly present at all age levels; NEISSON works with different alcohol profiles to tease out the various aromas from the cask, a
exciting and unique way (throughout the Caribbean) to mature rhum.The sugar cane is grown on the northern Caribbean terroir, whose soils are not highly developed, on volcanic pumice from the Pelee Mountains, with a sandy-clay texture. These plots are characterized by strong sunshine and low rainfall, with a very high diurnal temperature range during Lent (harvest time). The minerality 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 begins via the Silk Road, eventually reaching the Mediterranean around 500 AD. On his third voyage, Christopher Columbus successfully brought cuttings 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 the bases is fermented and distilled. If distillation takes place at least twice, it is called rum; before that it is Aguardiente (firewater), which is matured in wooden barrels. In the wooden barrels, the rum gains additional aromas; depending on where it is stored, this is referred to as tropical maturation (in an island climate at sea level), temperate maturation (near the place of production and often well above sea level), or continental maturation (transfer, for example, to Europe). After maturation, 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 lies only a few hundred meters from the sea and is picturesquely surrounded by sugar cane fields. NEISSON alongside La Favorite in Fort de France, is the only family-owned distillery on Martinique.The rum distillery NEISSON was founded by the brothers Jean and Arien Neisson in 1931. They acquired 20 hectares of land near La Thieubert. In 1958, a copper column still of the La Savalle type was introduced, known by the Creole name "Zepol Kare". Jean NEISSON, who trained as a chemical engineer in Paris, further developed this model himself and thus achieved a significant improvement in the quality of the rum. Distillation in the copper still and the high sugar content of the sugar cane from the fields of NEISSON are responsible for a particularly flavor-intense rum. The fertility and water permeability of the volcanic soils in Le Carbet near the still-active volcano, together with the high sunlight there, enable excellent harvests with very high-quality sugar cane and an exceptionally high sugar content. This reaches up to 27 percent, whereas sugar cane elsewhere on Martinique has an average sugar content of 18 percent. The higher the sugar content of the sugar cane, the more intense the flavor of the rum becomes.Ecological factors are not neglected in the production of NEISSON rum. the sugar cane is cut exclusively by hand. During the harvest season from February to June, workers mainly from Haiti and St. Lucia are employed as harvest helpers. At Neisson, production is carried out with sustainability in mind - for example, with a closed water cycle and the reuse of the mash to fertilize the fields. The unique aroma and success of the rum from NEISSON are reflected in a wide range of international awards and gold medals and are a source of pride for the owner family Vernant and cellar master Alex Bobi. Many connoisseurs even describe the white rum from NEISSON as "the best white rum in the world." In addition to being enjoyed neat, this rum is also ideal for mixed drinks and cocktails. In our experience, anyone who has once tasted a Cuba Libre, Mojito, or Caipirinha with rum from NEISSON won't want to drink any other white rum again. NEISSON produces four white rum qualities with an alcohol content between 50 and 70 percent, as well as matured brown rum with 40 and 45 percent. Annual production is 400,000 liters of rum from 4,000 tons of sugar cane from 40 hectares of cultivation area. Rhum Vieux, white rum with 55 percent, excellent in terms of value for money  Three brown rums, Réserve Spéciale (42 percent), Extra Vieux (45 percent) Single Cask 2004 42.7 percent). At the International Spirits Competition in (Germany) in April 2012, five medals: two gold for the Rèserve Spèziale and the Extra Vieux, three silver for the white rums. NEISSON quality.
