A little history:
Habitation La Favorite was founded in 1842. Before it became the distillery it is today, it produced cane sugar. Henri Dormoy acquired it in 1905, modernized it and transformed it into a distillery. It was equipped with a steam engine, which is still in use today.
Today, the 3rd and 4th generations continue to write the history of this family distillery, alongside men and women who love their land, their cane and their rum.
Each year, La Favorite produces around 450,000 liters of rum in keeping with Martinique's traditions, representing less than 3% of total production in Martinique.
Tours and tastings are available all year round, Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm, and Saturday mornings (November to May), 9am to 12pm.
