Depaz

Production is tied to the Habitation La Montagne, on the slopes of the Montagne Pelée; the modern activity of the Depaz brand began with Victor Depaz, who established the current distillation facility in the early 20th century (registered creation date: 8 May 1917). The agricultural origins of the site go back centuries, but the present Maison Rhums Depaz is known for having developed rhum agricole production closely linked to the local terroir.

Depaz places the volcanic terroir of the Montagne Pelée and the quality of locally grown cane at the centre of its work. The approach aims to express the aromatic characteristics of pure cane juice (rhum agricole) through fermentation and maturation practices designed to preserve and enhance the raw material.

Habitation La Montagne, at the foot of the Montagne Pelée (Saint‑Pierre), Martinique. Distinctive volcanic soil that the company cites as a defining element of its terroir.

Depaz reports various international awards on its pages (e.g. medals at The Spirit Business, World Rum Awards, competitions in Berlin, New York, ISC, IWSC) for labels such as Cuvée de la Montagne, Réserve Spéciale VSOP, Grande Réserve XO and Rhum Vieux Plantation.
