Habitation St EtienneThe historic Habitation Saint-Etienne was purchased by the Hayot family, who were already owners of the Simon Distillery (one of the last eight distilleries still functioning in Martinique), in 1994. Their dream was to restore this 19th distillery and sugar cane plantation back to its former glory. The specialized 'creole-style' copper stills found there were moved to the Simon Distillery and restored after years of neglect and damage from hurricanes. The Habitation Saint-Etienne now serves for blending and aging fine 'agricole rhums,' perserving the style that gave Saint-Etienne its century-long reputation. It now produces 10% of the entire local market for white rhum and 15% for 'old' rhum. Their rhum blanc 'Cuvée de l'an 2000' was the first white rhum ever in the world to be proposed as a 'vintage' rhum. Their 'vieux' rhums continue to win medals and are among the best of their type. Liqueurs de France is proud to become their new UK distributor and offer a sample of their exceptional products to our customers who have come to appreciate our commitment to only the finest. |
Distillerie DamoiseauThe Bellevue distillery, located on the eastern side of Guadeloupe, was purchased in 1942 by Roger Damoiseau and is now operated by his grandsons, Jean Luc and Evre Damoiseau. It is one of the larger distilleries in Guadeloupe. Although some of the cane processed at the distillery is still cut by hand from the surrounding fields, the rest is comes from all over the island. |
Rhumerie JMThe Rhumerie JM, located in Macouba, was founded in 1790 as the Jean-Marie Martins sugar factory and the rum was made from molasses, a by-product of the sugar refining operation. A fall in the price of sugar led to a switch from sugar refining and rhum agricole became the principal product. |
Habitation ClémentHabitation Clément is situated in Francois, Martinique. Then known as Habitation Acajou, it was purchased by its founder, Homère Clément, in 1887 and remained in production for 100 years until was sold to the Bernard Hayot group in 1986 when it was renamed it Habitation Clément in honour of the family. The original creole plantation house no longer houses the distillery which was relocated to a larger distillery nearby due to increased demand. |
La MaunyLocated at Riviere Pilote, this is the largest distillery in Martinique, and indeed in the French West Indies. The estate was founded in 1749 by the Comte de Mauny as a sugar plantation and production of rum only really became significant in 19th century. Today La Mauny produces 2 million litres of rhum agricole each year, of which 25% is retained for ageing. |
