Review: La Favorite Coeur De Canne Rhum Agricole Blanc

La Favorite Coeur De Canne Rhum Agricole Blanc - CopyLa Favorite Coeur De Canne Rhum Agricole Blanc is distilled, aged and bottled at one of the last family owned distilleries on the island of Martinique.  It is crafted with locally grown sugar cane all manually cut, which does less damage to the roots and provides a better quality sugar cane.  The fresh cut cane is delivered to the distillery where it is cut and crushed.  The cane juice is filtered and pumped to stainless steel fermentation tanks.  The fibers from the cane are sent to ovens to be burned as the fuel to feed the furnaces that heat the water of boilers, and provide the steam power used to power the entire distillery.  The sugar juice ferments for 72 hours and it is then distilled in a copper column still.  Pure distilled water is blended to reduce the proof before resting in oak barrels.
