Product History

Nektar Arrangé Lime & Ginger draws its inspiration from the French tradition of arranged rum , reinvented to offer a modern and premium experience. Created by the artisans of Nektar Arrangé in Île-de-France, this cuvée combines a rigorously selected agricultural rum from Martinique with carefully prepared fresh fruits . The limes, grown in the sunny climate of the Antilles, are zested and sliced by hand to release their tangy juice, while the ginger, harvested at its peak, is cut into strips to reveal its spicy liveliness. This thoughtful marriage takes place in glass vats where the mixture macerates for several weeks: the artisanal infusion allows the natural aromas to express themselves without alteration, thanks to the total absence of colorings, additives and added sugar .

The packaging in a contemporary design bottle , with bright colors and an arty aesthetic, reflects the identity of Nektar Arrangé: a brand that celebrates the authenticity of the Martinique terroir while embodying a resolutely modern vision. Each batch is tracked with traceability, from the sugar cane plot to the manual cutting of the fruit, thus guaranteeing quality consistency and total transparency for the consumer. The aromatic richness obtained by this artisanal infusion makes Lime & Ginger a unique sensory experience, at once fresh, spicy and subtly gourmet.

About the distillery

The production of Martinique agricultural rum , which serves as the basis for Nektar Arrangé arranged rums, is based on a centuries-old tradition structured by the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC). The agricultural distilleries located on the island benefit from an exceptional terroir: rich volcanic soil and a humid tropical climate, conducive to the cultivation of non-hybrid cane varieties such as Rubanée, Cristalline or Malavoi. Each plot is carefully cultivated, favoring manual harvesting and immediate pressing to obtain cane juice highly concentrated in natural sugars. This juice is then transported to stainless steel or concrete vats, where fermentation takes place under temperature control, thanks to the use of locally selected indigenous yeasts . This stage, which lasts between 24 and 36 hours, allows the development of floral and fruity aromas characteristic of Martinique AOC agricultural rum .

Distillation is carried out exclusively in tray columns —often Savalle-type or improved designs—providing precise separation of heads, hearts, and tails. Using a column composed of 15 to 20 trays, master distillers can finely adjust the cut, guaranteeing a pure rum with an alcohol content of around 73%. The heart of the mash is then left to rest for initial aging in inactive barrels, mainly ex-bourbon or ex-cognac. These barrels, mostly made of French or American oak, impart subtle aromas of vanilla, light caramel, and delicate wood to the rum, providing a balanced aromatic base ready to receive the infusion of fresh fruit.

In an eco-responsible approach, the Martinique partners favor plot rotation, minimal soil work and the use of organic fertilizers, guaranteeing sustainable and environmentally friendly cultivation . Traceability is ensured at every stage: each batch of cane is linked to its plot of origin, allowing the consumer to verify the authenticity and provenance of the raw materials. Strict compliance with AOC criteria also ensures the absence of synthetic pesticides, enhancing the aromatic purity of Martinique agricultural rum .

Once in France, the white agricultural rum is entrusted to the artisans at Nektar Arrangé, located in the Île-de-France region. These expert infusers operate in workshops equipped with glass vats, where Martinique agricultural rum macerates with hand-cut pieces of fresh fruit—in this case, slices of lime and ginger . The absence of chill filtration, coloring, and added sugar preserves the integrity of the natural aromas, resulting in a premium arranged rum with a pure and powerful aromatic profile.

Finally, the Nektar Arrangé brand stands out with its contemporary and vibrant packaging , designed to attract attention while reflecting the freshness and exoticism of the ingredients. This close collaboration between the Martinique distillery and the Nektar Arrangé workshop embodies a quest for excellence and authenticity , where each bottle guarantees a unique sensory experience. The AOC Martinique agricultural rum , combined with a meticulous artisanal infusion, offers optimal traceability and a sustainable product, ideal for lovers of high-end arranged rums looking for a perfect alliance between Caribbean tradition and French creativity.
