Product History

Nektar Arrangé Mangue & Passion embodies the alliance between the historic tradition of Martinique agricultural rum and the audacity of a contemporary artisanal infusion. Created by Nektar Arrangé's artisans in Île-de-France, each bottle contains fresh mango segments and passion fruit pulps rigorously selected for their optimal ripeness. The mangoes come from plantations respecting sustainable agricultural practices, while the passion fruit, harvested at full bloom, guarantees exceptional aromatic intensity. The ingredients are hand-cut to preserve their flavor qualities before being immersed in Martinique AOC agricultural rum for careful maceration.

The infusion process takes place in glass vats where the blend rests for several weeks: the mango pulp releases its sweet and velvety notes, while the passion fruit brings a tangy and exotic freshness. Sweet spices, such as bourbon vanilla and nutmeg, are precisely measured to balance the fruity richness and enhance the aromatic complexity. The choice not to chill-filter and not to add coloring or sugar guarantees total purity, allowing the generosity of the agricultural rum and the freshness of the fruits to express themselves.

The contemporary packaging, with its vibrant colors and arty design, reflects Nektar Arrangé's bold identity: a brand that celebrates the Martinique terroir while promoting French artisanal know-how. Since its creation, Nektar Arrangé has established itself as the benchmark for premium arranged rum in France, offering a range of seven essential variations, including this "Mango & Passion" version. Each batch benefits from full traceability, from the sugarcane plot to the maceration workshop, to guarantee consistent quality and optimal transparency.

About the distillery

The quality of the agricultural rum from Martinique used by Nektar Arrangé is based on the excellence of the Caribbean distilleries recognized by the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) . Since 1996, the AOC Martinique has governed strict agricultural practices, requiring the exclusive use of non-hybrid cane varieties such as Rubanée, Cristalline or Malavoi. These canes are grown on rich volcanic soil and benefit from a humid tropical climate, creating an exceptional terroir for the production of cane juice rich in natural sugars. Harvesting is done manually, then the cane is pressed immediately to avoid premature fermentation and preserve the aromatic concentration of the must. This agronomic rigor guarantees a top-quality cane juice, the essential basis for an agricultural rum of unparalleled purity.

After pressing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel or concrete vats at a controlled temperature, using carefully selected indigenous yeasts . This phase, lasting 24 to 36 hours, is crucial for developing the floral, fruity and herbaceous aromas characteristic of AOC Martinique agricultural rum . Mastering the fermentation process produces a distillate with a unique aromatic profile, combining finesse and power. Then comes distillation in tray columns – often sophisticated Savalle columns – made up of 15 to 20 trays. Master distillers precisely adjust the cut of the heads, hearts and tails, ensuring that only the toasting heart, with an alcohol content of around 73% vol., is extracted for aging.

The white rum from this distillation is then entrusted to an initial aging in inactive barrels, mainly from ex-bourbon or ex-cognac, in air-conditioned cellars. These barrels, made of French or American oak , bring delicate notes of vanilla, caramel, and light woodiness to the distillate, creating a stable and complex aromatic base before the fruit infusion. This initial aging, which can last from a few months to several years, allows the agricultural rum to gain roundness while preserving its Caribbean character.

Nektar Arrangé selects this rum base from family distilleries that respect responsible agriculture : crop rotation, minimal tillage, and the use of organic fertilizers. Each batch is traced back to the plot of origin, guaranteeing total transparency for the consumer. The absence of synthetic pesticides and compliance with AOC standards ensure the sensory integrity of the distillate. In France, Nektar Arrangé's artisan infusers then proceed to the artisanal infusion of the fruits. The mangoes and passion fruit are cut by hand, thus preserving their freshness and aromatic power. The blend rests for several weeks in glass vats, allowing the tropical aromas to blend harmoniously with the agricultural rum to create a premium arranged rum that is both fresh and complex.

Nektar Arrangé's approach is based on a quest for authenticity and traceability : each step, from the Martinique plot to the artisanal cutting of the fruit, is documented to guarantee consistent quality and total transparency. The packaging in a contemporary bottle , with an arty design, symbolizes the alliance between Caribbean tradition and French creativity. By placing AOC Martinique agricultural rum at the heart of its process, Nektar Arrangé promotes a classified terroir, ancestral know-how and a sustainable approach, thus offering lovers of arranged rums an incomparable sensory experience, where the aromatic richness of mango and the tangy freshness of passion fruit harmonize thanks to Martinique excellence.
