Description

White agricultural rum from the Maniba brand marketed in the 2000s (see end of 1990), and then produced by the Saint James distillery in Sainte-Marie.

A peaceful fishing village about ten kilometers north of Fort-de-France, Case-Pilote was not only one of the first towns in Martinique, it was also the scene of a legendary distillery: Maniba. Its traces date back to the year 1918 when a certain Mr. R. de Jaham was authorized to transfer his distillery from Fond Boucher.

In 1922, the distillery changed into a sugar refinery to cope with the quota law which then limited the quantity of rum produced. In 1956, the distillery and its estate were sold to several shareholder families of S.A. Maniba and the sugar cane was sent to the Lareinty factory, located in Lamentin.

The distillery smoked again in 1959 and was equipped with a Creole column then a few years later (in 1962) with a Savalle column which produced great aroma for export. In 1974, the distillery closed its doors for good. His column is sold to Trois-Rivières and the contingent to the Saint-James distillery which will perpetuate the Maniba brand.
