About the Rivière du Mât Distillery:

Rivière du Mât is a traditional distillery on the island of Réunion, with a history dating back to 1886. It is one of the oldest still-operating distilleries on the island and has long maintained a reputation for producing high-quality, full-bodied, and complex rums.

The distillery is located in Saint-Benoît on the island’s east coast. Rivière du Mât rums are made from fresh molasses sourced from sugarcane plantations grown on volcanic soil. The pure water from Réunion’s eastern rivers also plays a key role, contributing to the specific character of the fermentation and distillation processes. It is precisely this combination of soil, water, climate, and the expertise of local master distillers that gives Rivière du Mât rums their distinctive aromatic profile.

The distillery’s name is derived from a local legend. According to the legend, a shipwrecked vessel left its mast standing upright in the riverbed near the distillery. It was this story that gave rise to the name Rivière du Mât, which has become a symbol of authenticity, craftsmanship, and high-quality rums from Réunion.
