Special features: This Rhum Agricole is made from pure sugarcane juice that thrives on the volcanic soils of Montagne Pelée in Martinique. The distillation takes place in traditional columns, and the Rhum matures for at least three months to develop its characteristic aromas. The Depaz distillery, founded in 1635, still uses a historic steam engine that is responsible for powering the mill and the distillation columns.
