The wine
Exploration No.2 showcases an innovative approach to ageing and toasting barrels. After three years maturation in bourbon casks, this bottling was transferred to new casks for two additional years. Of the 12 casks in the blend, six were toasted at short, high intensity, three at a short, medium intensity and three at a long, low intensity. A limited edition of 2,850 bottles.
About the Producer La Favorite
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.
