Citrus, apricot and fresh sugarcane run through this 4-year La Favorite agricole, with light toasted oak and pepper behind them. What surprises most people is the softness — several tasters call it unexpectedly sweet and round for an agricole, "one of the smoothest" at this age. A couple find it young and a bit rough, but most enjoy the subtle, fruity nuance.

How does La Favorite Coeur de Canne taste?
Summarized by AI from 66 community reviews.
Soft, fruity agricole for easy sipping Most find it a gentle, fruity entry into Martinique agricole — citrus, cane and light spice with a soft body. The catch: the finish is short and a few call it young or plain.

On the nose it’s fruity with sweet red and tropical fruits, but also wood, leather, and round spices. On the palate it’s soft, creamy, and sweet with notes of hazelnuts/gianduia, then the vegetal and woody side comes in the background along with pepper, some citrus, and a bit of spice. It shows more degrees than it has, a great roundness, but the finish remains delicate and short. Still, a very pleasant drink.

Review by TheJackDrop
EDIT: tasted during the La Favorite masterclass in Lille. Unfortunately, I didn't find any real interest in this cuvée. Luckily the cognac cask (it's a half and half blend) adds a bit of fruit, otherwise it would be really bland. Light wood, vanilla, a bit of fruit Light cognac wood, a bit of cane, apple/pear Finish sweet cane, quince (photo, bottle in the background)
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Shared bottle with friends. Soft agricole smell. Citrus. Chamomille tea. Yellow fruits. Subtle. Nougat. Taste: first sweet then dry. Apricot. Guave. Hay. Passion fruit. All very subtle but tasty. The art is in the nuance. Not a powerhouse but a fine rum nonetheless.
Review by TheRhumhoe
An astonishingly sweet and gourmet rum, so much so that one might think the addition of sugar would soften the agricultural profile. Sugar cane is followed by candied, dried and tropical fruits that are opulent and expressive. Then come spicy notes of vanilla and cinnamon, toasted wood and a hint of walnut. A fine fragrance for the moment. The attack on the palate remains just as pleasant, with fruity notes of lemon and prunes, flavors of cane and pastry confections, spicy woodiness and hints of toasted toast. The thick, syrupy texture on the palate accentuates the gourmet sensation. The finish is relatively short, on prunes and citrus, caramel, spicy wood on vanilla and sugarcane. Perhaps the only real flaw in this tasty bottling. Despite this, this edition of Coeur de Canne remains a choice reference at a reasonable price for anyone wishing to discover the sweet, sexy side of agricultural rums.
Review by Godspeed
One of the smoothest agricoles I have ever tried at this ageing (4 years). The hallmark grassiness is like a gentle kiss closing off the flavor rather than being front and center. This is a pure sipping agricole through and through, it's smoothness and well-mannered flavor wave would be wasted in cocktails. At this price and ageing it's not just good, it's great. My first La Favorite and now I get what all the fuss is about.

Edit 84-80 lowered score Nose: orange, grapefruit, white pepper, woody Palate: nice easy-drinking profile but falls quite quickly even though the spice remains, sweetness and acidity, Dugas 79
Review by benoit burger
Very good rhum agricole. Despite being 4 years old, it's still very fruity and floral, and you can really taste the sugar cane.
Review by Jacques etdom
Surprisingly smooth for a 4-year-old. Quite fresh and light, some citrus, roundness and a well-present cane.
Review by Thefrenchagave
A rum that is quite simple, the cognac cask helps a bit in its character. Nice but a classic, without big surprises. Light woody notes, an accessible profile but still quite tame.
Review by Johan GARGANO
Very pleasant rum, fresh and fruity.
Review by Yann ARTHEIN
Good woody and spicy agricole.
Review by Henry Davies
A young and fairly unrefined agricole for my taste. Elements of copper and unrefined sugar on the mouth. It’s a bit brash and the alcohol feels unintegrated. Good to taste but unless a big fan of the more vegetal agricole style may be a bit rough. Sugarcane and wood on the mouth, more green herbs and oak on the mouth with a savoury finish. Not my kind of rum
Review by Quentin Leseigneur
A rather young rum with spicy markers. In my opinion, it's better not to drink it neat.
Review by Barney
While you don't expect such a sweet rum, you're surprised on the taste! Especially after that nose! I specify that I am pleasantly surprised. A good tasting, a good entry into the favorite.
