LA FAVORITE BLANCCoeur de Canne, the heart of the spirit, is un-aged and bottled at 50% abv. La Favorite Blanc has a fresh smooth aroma accented by floral tropical tones and fresh sugar cane. The body is rich in citrus and pear notes followed by melon, raisin and fresh sugar cane juice in the finish. Excellent for mixing in any rum-based drink, we also enjoy it served neat. Packaged in 1L bottles. The La Favorite distillery, built in 1842, originally employed a water wheel to power the cane-crushing mills, the first step in sugar production. At that time, the estate included two sugar refineries and a small rum distillery with five fermentation vats, a small boiler and copper pot still. Bankruptcy in 1875, followed by the hurricane of 1891 closed the estate until 1909 when Henri Dormoy purchased the property. Dormoy built a railway through the plantation to transport fresh cane from the surrounding countryside to the distillery where he installed a new distillation column and steam engine. Today La Favorite is one of the last two family-owned distilleries on the island and produces less than 500,000 liters of AOC rhum agricole per year. La Favorite contracts with farmers to buy sugar cane grown in the central region of Martinique near the distillery. All of the La Favorite rhums exported to the US are distilled, aged and bottled at the distillery. The fresh smooth aroma is accented by tropical florals, the body is rich in citrus and pear notes followed by citrus and fresh sugar cane juice in the finish. Coeur de Canne is the heart of the sugar cane juice spirit distilled in a copper, single-column still, then rested and bottled at the distillery. The container changed in 2021 to a old-style bottle after several upgrades at the distillery including cane mills and some additional fermentation tanks.
