The La Favorite distillery, established in 1842, holds a rich history in the heart of Martinique. Originally powered by a water wheel, it was a vital player in the region’s sugar production. After facing challenges, including bankruptcy and natural disasters, it was revived in 1909 by Henri Dormoy. Under his guidance, the distillery expanded and modernized, introducing a railway system to efficiently transport fresh sugarcane. Today, La Favorite remains one of the few family-owned distilleries on the island, producing high-quality AOC rhum agricole in limited quantities.
La Favorite sources its sugar cane from local farmers in the central region of Martinique, ensuring the utmost freshness. Each bottle of La Favorite rhum is a testament to traditional methods, as it is distilled, aged, and bottled on-site. This commitment to quality and authenticity results in a spirit that truly reflects the island's heritage. With a unique flavor profile, La Favorite rhum offers a delightful tasting experience that is perfect for sipping or mixing into cocktails.
