La Favorite 2019 Brut 2 Colonnes
La Favorite is a small family-run distillery, the last in the Port-de-France area. The plantation was initially known as La Jambette, and was renamed in 1851 by new owner, Charles Henry. The distillery hit financial hardship in the latter part of the 19th century and was eventually so badly damaged by a hurricane that it was shut down for twenty years. It was re-opened by Henri Dormoy in 1905, and his family still run it today. The distillery produces between 600,000 and 1m litres of spirit each year. Very much a boutique operation, its equipment is steam-powered, and the bottles are all labelled and wax sealed by hand.
This is an unaged rhum agricole blanc, a first for the distillery. It was blended from the finest cuts distilled on each of the distillery's two creole column stills in 2019, rested in a tank and bottled in 2020.
