Product History

Nektar Arrangé Ananas & Vanille is the meeting between an agricultural rum from Martinique from a family tradition and the exoticism of tropical fruits . This blend was imagined by the master craftsmen of Nektar Arrangé to offer a contemporary interpretation of French arranged rum . The fresh pineapple pieces are selected from rigorous producers, guaranteeing optimal maturity and an explosion of flavors with each infusion. The vanilla pods from Madagascar are split and introduced into the rum to release their sweet aromas and warm the composition. Made in Île-de-France, this cuvée comes to life in a glass where the elegance of the contemporary design marries the aromatic richness. The artisans ensure that each bottle contains meticulously hand-cut fruits, carefully assembled to preserve all the taste qualities of the Martinique terroir. The addition of sweet spices, precisely measured, offers an extra dimension to this recipe, where pineapple reveals its tangy notes and vanilla brings a creamy roundness. The Nektar Arrangé range includes seven essential variations, including this "Pineapple & Vanilla" version, designed to appeal to lovers of premium rum arrangé and those curious in search of a unique sensory experience.

About the distillery

The production of Martinique agricultural rum , which serves as the basis for the Nektar Arrangé range, is based on a centuries-old tradition recognized by the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC). The agricultural distilleries located on the island benefit from a humid tropical climate and rich volcanic soil, ideal for growing non-hybrid cane varieties such as Rubanée, Cristalline or Malavoi. The family farms, often small, ensure rigorous manual harvesting and immediate pressing of the sugar cane to obtain a juice rich in natural sugars. This juice is then fermented in stainless steel or concrete vats, using indigenous yeasts whose selection has been refined over decades. This fermentation, lasting approximately 24 to 36 hours, is carried out under strict temperature control, promoting the blossoming of floral, fruity and herbaceous aromas typical of the Martinique terroir.

Distillation is carried out exclusively in tray columns (usually Savalle type or improved), allowing the essential aromatics to be concentrated while maintaining the "agricultural" spirit of the rum. Thanks to a column with between 15 and 20 trays, distillers can precisely adjust the cut of the heads, hearts and tails, thus guaranteeing optimal purity and maximum extraction of aromatic compounds. The heating heart, generally around 73% vol., is then left to rest for aging.

For Nektar Arrangé, this white agricultural rum is selected from a Martinique distillery that adheres to sustainable practices: plot rotation, minimal tillage, and the use of organic fertilizers. The canes are grown without synthetic pesticides, promoting biodiversity and soil health. After distillation, the white rum is placed in inactive barrels, mostly ex-bourbon and sometimes ex-cognac, to rest before being sent to the Nektar Arrangé workshops in France. This initial barrel aging allows for the development of sweet woody notes, vanilla, and light caramel, creating a stable aromatic base ready to welcome the fresh fruit.

The authenticity of AOC Martinique agricultural rum , combined with French artisanal know-how, gives Nektar Arrangé a unique position in the world of premium arranged rums . Compliance with AOC standards guarantees total traceability: each bottle can be traced back to the plot of origin and the distillation batch. The absence of cold filtration, coloring and the addition of sugar preserves the purity of the natural aromas. This close partnership between the Martinique distillery and the French brand is part of an eco-responsible approach, where fruit collection is done within a limited radius to reduce the carbon footprint, and where each stage of production is optimized to minimize waste.

Finally, the distillery relies on a policy of constant innovation: introduction of specific endogenous yeasts, use of modern techniques for temperature regulation and sensory analysis, while maintaining a strong anchorage in tradition. This marriage of heritage and technology allows to guarantee a consistent quality, batch after batch, and to offer exceptional rum bases, ideal for infusion. Thus, Nektar Arrangé's Martinique agricultural rum embodies the excellence of a classified terroir, the passion of artisans in love with their craft and the ambition to offer lovers of arranged rum an incomparable sensory experience.
