Jean and Adrien Neisson acquired their land in Le Carbet in 1922, building the distillery nine years later. It remains part of the family to this day, saved by Jean’s daughter Claudine, who quit her job as a hospital physian to run it after his death. Her son Gregory is now its master distiller. He produces its well-regarded agricole rum on the distillery’s single-column Savalle still, constructed back in 1938.

The Straight from the barrel No 233 was produced in Martinique at the Neisson distillery.
