France hexagonal final in Martinique
The French hexagonal final of our competition will take place in Martinique on 28 and 29 April – an unforgettable destination to celebrate our 10th anniversary!
Why Martinique? The 10th anniversary of the competition coincides with some major anniversaries: the 260th anniversary of Rhums Saint James, the competition’s flagship brand and a key player in Martinique’s culture, renowned the world over for its exceptional rum-making expertise. In 2025, we’ll also be celebrating 270 years of Marie Brizard, a leading name in mixology, as well as almost 50 years of Caraïbos, the flagship brand for Caribbean mixers!
