La Favorite is an independent distillery in Martinique, owned by the Dormoy family since 1842. The distillery produces authentic artisanal agricultural rum, in the style of the French West Indies. Its annual production is about 600,000 bottles.
La Favorite cultivates more than 60 hectares of sugar cane, which accounts for about 60% of its needs. Local farmers provide for the remaining needs, thus ensuring a short supply chain that is a guarantee for the quality of the raw material.


Harvesting takes place during the first 6 months of the year, when the sugar level of the cane is at its highest. Today La Favorite still operates entirely using a steam engine built in 1906. Le vesou (cane wine), made from cane juice fermented for a long time (24 to 36 hours), is distilled in 2 Creole columns, one of which is made entirely of copper and has been in operation since 1957 and the other more modern dating from 1986.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
