La Favorite distillery: Martinique’s family-run agricole icon with steam-powered tradition

Independent family heritage
Steam-powered cane milling
Terroir-driven single plots

La Favorite rum stands as one of Martinique’s last independent, family-run producers. Born from a 19th‑century sugar estate, the distillery still crushes cane with a historic steam engine and distills fresh sugarcane juice on Creole columns to craft authentic AOC agricole.

On RumX, 1,934 community reviews affirm its reputation for character and finesse, with a strong median rating of 8.2/10. From crystalline blancs to long‑aged icons like La Flibuste, La Favorite balances terroir-driven freshness with pastry-like depth, winning over curious newcomers and seasoned collectors alike. Signature series such as Cœur de Canne, Millésime and Brut 2 Colonnes showcase precise fermentation, deft cuts and tropical aging that define true Martinique rum.

RumX community voice

RumX drinkers praise the house for vivid fresh‑cane and floral noses, balanced spice and fruits (apple, mirabelle, dried fig), and impressively integrated alcohol from blancs to vintages. La Flibuste is loved for its round, pâtissier profile—though some note perceived sweetness or shorter finishes. Single‑plot whites like La Digue and Bel’Air earn high marks for terroir clarity, while Brut 2 Colonnes delights enthusiasts seeking high‑proof precision in Ti’ Punch or neat.
