La Favorite distillery, built in 1842, originally employed a water wheel to power the cane-crushing mills. 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.
