Named in tribute to Napoleon, who is said to have cried “this spirit will be my favourite” when he first tasted the spirit, the La Favorite distillery is located at the entrance to Fort de France, Martinique. Founded in 1842, Habitation La Favorite originally produced cane sugar. When it was bought by Henri Dormoy, it was modernized and turned into a distillery. It was equipped with a steam machine which is still in service today. Production is aged primarily in ex-cognac casks.

La Flibuste is one the La Favorite distillery’’s iconic bottlings and highly sought-after by collectors. This version was aged for 20 years in the distillery’’s warehouses in the hills surrounding Fort de France. Each bottle is hand-sealed with wax.
