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.

A Neisson “La Distillerie” rhum agricole. Since 1996 Neisson has teamed up with the Tatanka studio on a number of occasions for the design of its labels, which often depict naive representations of scenes of everyday life in Martinique and the work completed at the distillery and in sugarcane fields.
