(See below)

"Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée" Martinique has developed a binding set of specifications, allowing to frame the production and to have a traceability from the cultivated plot to the bottling on site.

Martinique is the only one in the world to have obtained an "Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée" for its Rhum agricole (French term for pure cane juice rum). This AOC was issued on November 8, 1996 by the INAO (Institut National de l'Origine et de la Qualité).

This Rum from Martinique is recognized worldwide for being a high quality product, which offers a highly appreciated typicity in nose and taste.
