Martinique
Martinique: birthplace of Martinique rum craftsmanship, renowned worldwide and terroir-driven style
Martinique’s Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) sets the benchmark for cane‑juice rhum. Between sea breezes and Mount Pelée’s volcanic slopes, freshly cut sugarcane is crushed within hours, fermented, and distilled in Creole columns to preserve grassy aromatics and crystalline structure. If you’re exploring rum from Martinique, expect a drier, elegantly spiced profile with citrus zest, cacao, roasted coffee, and pure cane sweetness.
On RumX—the world’s largest rum platform—25,620 community reviews average 8.1/10, highlighting consistent quality across price points.
