You don’t think we’d do a slate of
Caribbean awards with rum, did you? As appreciation for rum continues to grow,
it’s important for the Caribbean’s most famous export to move with the times
and be an example for the spirits world at large. And no rum company has been
more laser focused on sustainability and green practices than the boutique rhum
distillery in Martinique’s Le Carbet: Rhum Neisson.
Led by intrepid CEO Gregory
Vernant, Neisson now produces the world’s first certified organic rum, a rum
project that is now seeing the world’s first aged organic rum, too. When you
make rhum agricole, that’s no small feat — but for Vernant, it’s been a
passion project – but one he sees as paramount for the future of rum making.
