- Description
- This litre bottling of Martinique Rhum Supérieur, produced in the 1970s, comes from an era when production remained largely in state or family hands before modern branding. At 44% ABV, it captures the character of pre-industrial Caribbean rum-making, though limited documentation prevents detailed tasting assessment. The bottle appeals to collectors and historians of rum's evolution and the French market traditions of its era.
