THE FAVORITE - Rhum out of age - The castle reserve - Vintage 2002 - 43%
La Favorite is one of the last independent distilleries of Martinique with Neisson. It was founded in 1842 on the remains of a candy called Jambettes and will be renamed La Favorite in 1851. Henri Dormoy acquired it in 1909 and then made some improvements to turn the sugar refinery into a distillery. Following some twists linked to a certain penchant for gambling Albert Dormoy (Henry's son), La Favorite sees its activity cease in the 1938s. It will resume its activity only when André, his younger brother, it was not rebuilt to completely renovate it in 1956. Today, La Favorite produces sugarcane on 60 ha and is also supplied from small local producers, it still works entirely with the help of a steam engine built in 1906 and still valiant. Vesou (cane wine), obtained from cane juice fermented over a very long time of up to 72 hours, is distilled in two Creole columns, one of which is entirely copper and has been in operation since 1957 and the other more modern in date of 1986.
This rum The reserve of the vintage castle 2002 is therefore signed La Favorite. It was aged in oak barrels for 12 years under the watchful eye of cellar master Robert Charles.
Each year this Reserve du Château is limited to a maximum of 10,000 bottles that will be hand-waxed.
