La Favorite sits at Le Lamentin, near the airport and the island's commercial centre, and is dated to 1842. It uses a Creole column and makes agricole whites and aged rhum. The brand has been marketed in France for decades as an accessible, easy agricole and has a local following. The owner is not confirmed from a primary source, so that field is an estimate and the entry is low confidence.
