Neisson Rhum Organic. Distillerie Neisson, Martinique — the first certified organic AOC rhum agricole from Martinique, bottled at 52.5% ABV, produced from three specific varieties of estate-grown organic sugarcane (B64 red cane, R583 Geyko cane, and B59 Reed cane) and certified organic from soil to bottling by Ecocert.
Distillerie Neisson has operated on Martinique's northwestern coast near Le Carbet since 1931, producing some of the island's most respected rhum agricole from fresh sugarcane juice under the AOC Martinique designation. The Organic expression represents a further commitment to that agricultural philosophy: only part of the Neisson cane production is certified organic, the result of years of preparation, testing, and careful tasting to ensure that organic cultivation does not compromise the distillery's quality standards.
Three specific cane varieties were selected for the organic program: B64 (red cane) and B59 (Reed cane), both hybrids developed in Barbados that bring different flavor profiles and growing characteristics to the Martinique volcanic soils; and R583 (Geyko cane) from Reunion, which adds a third dimension of aromatic character. Everything in the production chain — soil, sugarcane, yeast, and final product — carries Ecocert organic certification, one of France's most rigorous independent certification bodies.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: The three-cane blend produces a more complex and layered agricole nose than single-variety production — fresh sugarcane, earthy minerality from the volcanic Martinique soils, grass, and the characteristic Neisson terroir in an organic expression.
- Palate: Full-bodied at 52.5% ABV with the cane-forward character of Neisson's standard blanc elevated by the multi-variety organic cane blend. The Barbados and Reunion cane varieties contribute distinctive aromatic dimensions unavailable in single-variety agricole.
- Finish: Clean, long, and agricultural. The organic certification ensures no synthetic residue interrupts the pure cane-to-spirit expression.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes Neisson Organic different from the standard Blanc? Three things: Ecocert organic certification covering soil, cane, yeast, and final product; three specific cane varieties (B64, R583, B59) selected specifically for organic production; and the multi-variety blend that creates more aromatic complexity than single-variety production. Otherwise the same AOC Martinique agricole philosophy and Le Carbet terroir.
- What is Ecocert organic certification? One of France's most rigorous independent organic certification bodies, certifying production from soil management through final product. For Neisson Organic, every input in the entire production process — not just the cane itself — meets Ecocert standards.
- Why three different cane varieties? Each cane variety produces different aromatic and flavor compounds in the final spirit. B64 and B59 are Barbados-developed hybrids adapted to different tropical growing conditions; R583 from Reunion brings a third dimension of aromatic character from its distinct island origin. The blend creates complexity unavailable in a single-variety agricole.
- Is Neisson Organic the first organic AOC Martinique rhum? Yes — Neisson was the first distillery to achieve certified organic AOC Martinique rhum agricole status, requiring years of soil preparation and organic transition before the cane fields could qualify for certification.
