Distillerie J.M
Habitation Bellevue – Rhum J.M
A well-known agricultural rum distillery in the rainforest at the island's northernmost tip. It uses spring water from Mount Pelée, and cellar tours and tastings are free.
The JM rum distillery is in Macouba, at the northernmost tip of Martinique. The Bellevue estate where it sits has a history going back to 1790. In 1845, Jean-Marie Martin took over the estate and named the brand after his initials. The distillery lies in a rainforest valley at the foot of Mount Pelée. It produces agricultural rum from mineral-rich volcanic spring water and locally grown sugar cane. The aged rums mature in the humid, rainy climate. Visitors can tour the distillation workshop and aging cellar for free, and taste several aged rums in the tasting room. It is about 1 hour's drive from Fort-de-France and can be visited on the same day as the Gorges de la Falaise.
