There is an old saying “all the roads lead to Rome” but here in Martinique all the roads lead to RHUM. The rum made in Martinique is exceptional and has a very unique taste. Visting the island during the months February to June? During the harvest season visitors at the rum distillery can see how the rum is being made.

Unlike industrial rum, which is made from molasses and water, Martinique Rhum Agricole is made from sugarcane that is filtered, fermented, distilled, and then aged for a minimum of three months and up to three years. The region’s Protected Destination of Origin status, which was granted in 1975, has created strict guidelines for the spirit covering everything from its production region to the specific procedures and sugarcane varieties used to make it. The end result is a “white,” “amber,” or “aged” spirit with an incredibly complex aroma.
