La Mauny

Maison La Mauny is a historic distillery on the island of Martinique and one of its largest rum producers. It is located within the La Mauny estate in Rivière-Pilote, which was founded in Ferdinand Poulain in 1749 and originally produced sugar and tafia before opening its rum distillery in 1820. The distillery was acquired by the Bellonie brothers, Théodore and Georges, and the widow of the latter co-founded Bellonnie & Bourdillon Successeurs (BBS) in 1974. BBS has owned the distillery ever since, and as of 2019 has been a subsidiary interest of the Campari Group.

Originally known simply as La Mauny, the distillery was renamed Maison La Mauny in 2015. It produces AOC Martinique rhum agricole using its own estate-grown sugarcane. In addition to its eponymous brand, it is also the source of Campari's Trois Rivières and Duquesne labels.

The La Mauny rum brand dates back to around the 1950s when it was first sold by the bottle on the island of Martinique, appearing in cafés, hotels and restaurants with eye-catching screen-printed labels. Although some export sales began around the same time, it was not until the brand was introduced to the French market by Bellonnie & Bourdillon Successeurs (BBS) in 1977 that it began to receive proper recognition.

The brand maintained a largely unchanged aesthetic for decades, until it was relaunched as Maison La Mauny in 2015, even then only slightly altering its packaging. Today the core range comprises a number of rhum blanc at various strengths, a port cask-finished expression call Héritage 1749 and VO, VSOP and XO rhum vieux.
