Home to 10 prestigious rum distilleries spread across the 425-sq mile island, it is no wonder why Martinique is a top bucket-list destination for rum lovers.
Martinique is generally known as a tropical paradise for sun and sea, but the lush, French Caribbean island is also celebrated as a producer of premium quality rum. Like many of its island neighbors, Martinique has deeply rooted tradition in the legendary drink, so much that the locals boast, “All roads lead to rhum.”
Rum lovers can follow Martinique’s informal Route des Rhum for distillery tours and tastings at award-winning craft producers including Neisson, Clement, and J.M. Rhum. And vacationers who prefer beach time over the tasting room will find a selection of Martiniquean rums on bar and restaurant menus, along with the island’s signature drink — Ti-Punch — made with rum, sugarcane syrup and lime zest.
