If you already love young cask-strength agricole, this rewards patience. Fresh sugarcane, honey and mountain herbs meet a green, peppery kick and young oak, all at a big 67.6%. Poured straight it's mostly alcohol; give it air and time and the honey and citrus come through. One taster clocked cognac-like dried fruit late. Not a first sip of the night.

How does Les Frères de la Côte La Favorite Navigation 2021 - Cuvée No 1 2020 taste?
Summarized by AI from 20 community reviews.
Young, herbal agricole that needs air and time Most land on rewarding but demanding: the sugarcane and honey shine once it opens, though several couldn't get past the alcohol, so let it breathe.

Warm and enveloping nose with notes of vanilla and pastry, roasted hazelnuts and gianduja, a hint of leather, tobacco, wood and some citrus, delicious. Intense and explosive on the palate with roasted hazelnuts/janduja, pepper, mountain herbs/resin/mint, dates, citrus zest, floral and woody with some cognac on the medium-long finish that then leaves a dry/woody/amuffy aftertaste that lingers even after tens of minutes. The abv is excellent and appears to be 15 degrees down. In the empty glass wood, fermented and floral.

No pleasure, the alcohol is omnipresent and the whole lacks balance.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Trial 2: Reminiscent of cognac with mint, pineapple, citrus, green apple and date nut along with lots of wood and pepper. Tends to round thing but here would still be potential upwards I think.
Review by Jean Louisss
Beautiful attack that it is in the nose or in mouth, the cane of the favorite is immediately recognizable. There is a certain acidity brought by the lemon throughout the tasting and all this is sublimated by a rather pleasant young wood. It is a good rum rather spicy.
Review by Bob le téméraire
An incredible discovery! Very attracted by the nose, I was afraid of its alcohol content. It is quite balanced even if it is better not to start the tasting here... The story is superb, sailboat without engine, aging during the journey, in the old way.
Review by Fasen
Interesting, a big rough column still very vegetal that meets a touch of wood with a beautiful La Favorite frame.
Review by Jerome Lacroix
The longer it takes, the better it is... at opening I only had the alcohol, today it's a delight, the horses are tamed.
Review by Renato
Very vegetal, with notes of honey and iodine. A nice intensity.
Review by Henry Davies
It’s a step up for me from the no. 2 example. Rich and brooding mouth with real hints of honey and vegetal notes on the nose melding in to more balanced but full power pepper and spice on the mouth. A robust and full finish with honey and oak pulls all together well. Solid and full force sipper
Review by RumRhush
For a very young one already well marked by the cask with superb notes of honey and dried fruits
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Too hard to get into it, the alcohol taking over, too bad we feel a nice potential but I did not manage to appreciate it.
Review by zazar azer
One of the worse rum of my collection to sip. Tried multiple time but the alcohol integration is really bad. Tried to drink a glass of it beforee a snack, had to stop, tried after the snack, same, tried again after a meal. Could not finish it and I just emptied in the sink instead of forcing myself to finish. Not sure what to do with the bottle except trying to mix it. Really disapointed in this one
