And then a high ester from Le Galion. It's really great, lots of strawberry is noticeable here, of course also plenty of esters. A bit of overripe pineapple and olive can also be detected, this rum tastes very creamy.

RumX Guide
Martinique, explained
Is Martinique rum made from cane juice or molasses?
Almost all of it is rhum agricole, fermented and distilled from the fresh juice pressed straight from the cane, and only one distillery, Le Galion, still makes rhum industriel from molasses. Most rum elsewhere starts from molasses, the sticky leftover of sugar making, which is why agricole tastes green, grassy and vegetal rather than dark and sweet. Agricole is the style Martinique gave the world.
Which distilleries are on Martinique?
Seven AOC distilleries make Martinique's rhum agricole today: the family-run Neisson and La Favorite and the bigger Saint-James, Depaz, La Mauny, J.M and Simon. Outside the AOC work Le Galion, A1710 and HBS. A handful of houses make all of it, including several well-known names that no longer have a distillery of their own.
What do vieux, VO, VSOP and XO mean on Martinique rum?
They are the age steps of the Martinique AOC: the ladder runs from blanc up through élevé sous bois and vieux to the three-year VO, the VSOP and the six-year XO. The everyday white rhum is the heart of a Ti Punch, but the aged rhums and vintages are where Martinique turns into collector rum, from the Velier Neisson 70th Anniversary and La Favorite's La Flibuste, both tagged woody with vanilla and dried fruit by the RumX community, to old Saint-James and J. Bally millésimes. Martinique is one of the few islands where a tightly regulated style still produces genuine collector rum.
What does the Martinique AOC require?
The AOC requires fresh local cane juice only, distillation on a single creole column to between 65 and 75 percent, a minimum rest and a floor for aromatic compounds, plus rules on harvest season and fermentation. Martinique won it in 1996, the first AOC ever granted to a rum and the same kind of protected origin that governs Champagne or Bordeaux. The first analytical definition of rum dates back to 1938.
Why did so many Martinique distilleries disappear?
Martinique lost its distilleries to the 1902 eruption of Mount Pelée and a long decline afterwards. The eruption wiped out Saint-Pierre, the Paris of the Caribbean, killing nearly everyone in the city, and around 20 rhumeries vanished with it, while Saint-James survived only in part. Rum came back, but the decline did not stop: Martinique had between 124 and 160 working distilleries in 1939, depending on the source. The few still running today are the fumante, as locals call the ones still smoking.
Frequently asked questions about Martinique
Because their own distilleries have closed: Trois Rivières, Clément, Dillon, HSE and J. Bally are heritage brands that live on without one. The rum still carries the name but is now distilled at one of the island’s surviving distilleries, sometimes on the original stills moved there.
Martinique’s signature drink: white agricole rhum, a little cane syrup and a squeeze of lime, mixed to your own taste. It is usually served as components so you build it yourself, often before a meal.
