THE FAVORITE - Vintage 2013 - 8 years old - 48.5%

La Favorite is one of the last independent distilleries in Martinique along with Neisson. It was founded in 1842 on the remains of a sugar refinery called Les Jambettes before being renamed La Favorite in 1851. In 1909, when Henri Dormoy acquired it, he carried out some improvements to transform the sugar refinery into a distillery. . Following a few twists linked to a craze for gambling by Albert Dormoy (Henri's son), La Favorite saw its activity cease in the years 1938. It would not resume production until André, his younger brother , took it over to completely renovate it in 1956.

Today, La Favorite produces sugar cane on 60 hectares and is also supplied by small local producers , it still operates entirely using a steam engine built in 1906. Le vesou (cane wine) , obtained from cane juice fermented for a long time (up to 72 hours), is distilled in 2 Creole columns , one of which is entirely made of copper and has been in operation since 1957 and the other more modern dating from 1986.

La Favorite Millésime 2013 is an old Hors d'Âge agricultural rum. It was aged in November 2013 in ex-Bourbon and ex-Cognac barrels . The rum was bottled in February 2022 and 6,000 bottles were produced.
