RumX Guide

La Favorite, explained

What is La Flibuste?

La Flibuste is La Favorite's prestige line of aged vintages, each released under its year, from the La Flibuste 1992 and 1994 to the 1999 and 2000. The RumX community describes these vintages with dried fruit and prunes, wood, vanilla and a syrupy sweetness in its tasting notes. They are scarce and collectable.

Where is the La Favorite distillery?

La Favorite stands inside Fort-de-France, the capital of Martinique, about 15 minutes from the port, and it is the only working distillery left in the city.

Who owns La Favorite?

La Favorite belongs privately to the Dormoy family, across four generations and with no corporate owner: Henri, then Andre, now Franck Dormoy, who took over day-to-day in 2006. Alongside Neisson, it is one of the two independent family houses among Martinique's classic AOC distilleries, although the distillery itself stood closed from 1924 to 1957. Today it distils around 500,000 litres a year, and from 1985 to 1993 it also owned Habitation Saint-Etienne. The Rum Tour calls it agricole in its rawest form.

Is La Favorite still made the old way?

Largely yes: a steam engine built in France in 1906 still turns the three-stage mill and pumps the juice, the cane is all hand-harvested, and one of the two copper columns dates from 1957. Like at Depaz, the steam comes from burning bagasse. Around 60 hectares of cane, four varieties, feed the mill. The columns distil to 70 to 72 percent, and most of the output is sold as white rhum. The aged rhum matures in a mix of ex-cognac, ex-bourbon and ex-armagnac casks, filled at 58 percent, across a three-level warehouse: the top loses about 12 percent a year, the bottom only 4 percent.

Frequently asked questions about La Favorite

The white Coeur de Canne: unaged and bottled at 50 percent, it shows the raw house character, the wild side of wet grass, hot vinegar and grated plantain. For the aged side, the La Flibuste vintages come after.

Yes: visitors wander freely through the working distillery, among turning gears and drifting vapours. Part of it is the blue steam engine that Henri Dormoy built and that became the distillery’s symbol.

As a rhum agricole distillery it dates from Henri Dormoy, who bought the site around 1902 to 1905, ended sugar refining and replaced the pot still with a copper column. Before that, a sugar mill called La Jambette stood here from 1843, with two refineries and a small molasses-rum still. When France switched to beet sugar and a hurricane wrecked the estate, that business failed to adapt and was sold.

The Chateau de La Favorite is a grand great house that Henri Dormoy built in the 1920s to rival Depaz. Today it is not part of the distillery: it has belonged to the French army since the late 1960s.
