La Favorite Rhum Agricole Vieux Privilege pour Lulu 0.7L 41.3% La Favorite- Martinique La Favorite is the most special rum distillery still to be found on the Caribbean island of Martinique. It has been operated with the same steam engine since 1906.

A special edition is now being dedicated to her on the occasion of her 100th birthday. The result is a full-bodied cuvée made from five vintages and includes a 2000, a 2001, a 2002, a 2009 and a 2010. Tasting The La Favorite character is immediately apparent on the nose.
