The Neisson distillery was founded in Carbet by the Neisson brothers in 1932. Jean, who was a trained chemical engineer, was committed to improving distillation techniques, as was reflected by the installation of the distillery’‘s Savalle still, originally built in 1938 and modified by Jean himself. The estate remains in family hands and is today run by Claudine and her son Grégory. In 2013, the estate began gradually converting to organic farming, supported by research into different cane varieties, plots and agricultural techniques. Neisson is rightly considered one of Martinique’‘s most innovative and ambitious distilleries. Neisson rum is instantly recognizable by the signature Zepol’‘Karé bottle with square shoulders.

Neisson Extra Vieux red label is a former edition of Neisson Extra Vieux. Introduced in 1973, the red label foreshadowed the 1996 AOC. We estimate this bottle to be from the 1980s.
