Neisson
Neisson's story begins in 1932, when the brothers Adrien and Jean Neisson bought the La Thieulbert habitat on the northwest coast of Martinique, a 20-hectare estate planted with sugar cane. The first distillery was opened by Adrien, while his brother Jean - who studied chemistry in Paris - opened an import-export company with his wife, which distributed the family rum. Immediately, the distillate was recognized by the iconic square shape of the "Zèpol Karé" bottle, still used by Neisson today. In 1952, starting to also take an interest in production, Jean designed a new copper "Savalle" distillation column, which still plays a fundamental role in the taste of Neisson rums today. Both brothers died prematurely in the early seventies, the distillery then passed into the hands of his sister Gabrielle, helped by the master distiller Emmanuel Frédronic. But the real new life of the distillery, marked by a series of successes, began in 1995, when Claudine, daughter of Jean, took over the reins of the company together with her son Grégory, who today personally follows every aspect of production.
