Rhum Tour — Cane Spirit Immersion

You know that rhum is made from crushed sugar cane. The juice is fermented, then distilled to create the spirit of cane.

Now, dig deeper into the wonder of how great rhum is produced with VIP tours of the famous distilleries of Martinique, lead by rhum experts who understand the nuances and details of the process. Visit the cane fields, the crush, the fermentation tanks, the stills and the aging rooms. Along the way, you’ll taste rum at each stage of the process from distillate to old aged spirit.
