History 1842: The Habitation La Favorite was constructed, originally named La Jambette in reference to the stream that flows through and nourishes it. Between 1905 and 1906, Henri Dormy established a distillery at that location, incorporating a Henri Marriol steam engine that remains operational to this day. The Method The steam engine remains operational today, driving the mills and distillation columns in a closed circuit. It is the only distillery in Martinique that is energy self-sufficient and operates entirely on steam. An independent, family-owned distillery Sixty-two hectares of sugarcane are cultivated by independent growers who fulfill 60% of its requirements. The extended brewing process imparts a distinctive aromatic sweetness to La Favorite rums. History In the center of Fort-de-France, a sugar mill is constructed that will eventually serve as the location for the future distillery. 1779: Arthur Dillon, an officer in the Irish Brigade of the King of France, commanded one of the three regiments during the Battle of Martinique. He returned to Martinique and wed Marie-Françoise Laure de Girardin de Montgérald, the heiress of a sugar cane plantation and cousin of Joséphine de Beauharnais. The plantation subsequently adopted the name Plantation Dillon. 1857: Pierre Hervé, the former Mayor of Saint-Pierre, reacquires the estate and oversees the restoration of the water supply canal and dike, as well as the construction of a sugar factory and railways. 1869: Duchamp de Chastaigné subsequently acquires the estate and, with the assistance of Louis Dormergue, constructs a distillery that, regrettably, will be obliterated in 1891 by a catastrophic cyclone. 1900: Raphaël Domergue assumes control and revitalizes the distillery. In 1920, he established a second distillery. 2006: The distillation of Dillon rum was relocated to the Depaz distillery, accompanied by the Dillon distillation columns. Currently, only the Dillon aging cellars and bottling facilities are situated in Fort-de-France. History 1887: Homère Clément, a physician by profession, consolidated all the nearby sugar estates to establish Habitation Clément, originally named Habitation Acajou. 1917: He established the distillery. 1986: Similar to other distilleries in Martinique, the Clément distillery relocated its distillation units to the Simon distillery, retaining only the aging and bottling cellar. The Method The Habitation Clément Park is truly magnificent, featuring grand trees and remarkable structures that exemplify the finest Martinican tradition. Over 300 tropical species flourish harmoniously across 16 hectares. The Clément Foundation serves as a museum space committed to the advancement of Caribbean arts. The total area of the estate encompasses 300 hectares.
