About the distillery


The Trois Rivières plantation was established more than three decades ago and is an integral part of Martinique's historical heritage. Its symbolic name comes from the three rivers that border the sugar cane fields: Oman, Bois d'Inde and Saint-Pierre.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, the plantation specialised in sugar production. At the beginning of the 20th century, it began producing Agricole rum, which over time became its exclusive production.

Nicolas Fouquet, Superintendent of King Louis XIV, granted himself the largest plots of land ever allotted in the French Antilles: 2000 ha (about 4900 acres) in the south of the island.

The domain has changed owners several times. At the time when sugar production was flourishing, there were up to three refineries on the property, some remains of these are still preserved.

Amédée Aubéry, a powerful industrialist and landowner, bought Trois Rivières. He modernised the site, stopped sugar production and only produced rum.
