La Favorite Of. Les Frères de la Côte Cuvée N°1 - One of 2300 - Navigation 2021

The wine

Les Frères de la Côte No. 1 is a dark rum distilled in April 2020 and matured in barrel initially for eight months. In January 2021, when the Tres Hombres yacht dropped its anchor in Martinique, the rum was then transferred to 50 and 225 litre cognac barrels and loaded into the hold. The crossing to the Old Continent took four months, after which the barrels were given additional time to rest in the cellars of Frères de la Côte before being bottled at cask strength in September 2021. A limited edition of 2,300 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.
