Homére Clement was the pioneer of the Agricole Rum. He started his distillery on the French island of Martinique in 1887, but since then not much has changed. In Martinique, Rum is not made from molasses but from sugarcane juice, called Agricole. The Rum matures in barrels of French oak, which gives a deep spicy rum, as the French style should be. In Martinique, strict legislation is in place in the area of rum, such as banning additives.
