How does La Favorite Sélection de fûts 2012 taste?

Aggregated from 21 community reviews.

Dry, complex agricole for explorers For curious explorers into agricole, this unsweetened 9½‑year La Favorite combines ripe banana, nuts, floral cane and cinnamon with tobacco, coffee and dry oak. At 49.3%, it’s intense yet polished, ideal for slow sipping.

Perfect for

Agricole fans who enjoy dry, oak-driven rums with spice, tobacco, coffee and ripe fruit at a confident but controlled 49.3% ABV.

Less suitable for

Those new to rum or seeking sweet, easygoing sippers; the dry wood, tobacco and spice can feel intense and niche.

8.6/10

Ce rhum vieux propose une très belle richesse aromatique au nez et en bouche. C’est un rhum d’une grande subtilité après repos et montre un caractère affirmé sur les épices, le boisé et le fruité. Délicat au nez et en bouche, malgré un côté sec il dispose d’une palette aromatique profonde, signe d’un excellent travail de la Favorite. La finale est d’une longueur extraordinaire et envoûtante avec qu’une envie… y revenir !

Nose: fruity on banana/roasted notes Mouth: warm but greedy/spicyFinal: long on tobacco This 2012 vintage is clearly more expressive and interesting than the 2015. This is what I expect from a good agricultural rum from La Favorite.

Du fruit à coque, une eau de vie de fruits trop mûres, du fût, quelques épices...un délice qui glisse rondement sur la langue et qui appelle à la gorgée suivante ! Un très joli La Favorite vraiment.

Nez sympathique sur le poivre noir, le café et même le pain grillé. En bouche on retrouve plutôt ces arômes empyreumatiques.

7.9/10

Un rhum dans lequel il se passe beaucoup de choses. Malheureusement, il n'est pas bien équilibré. C'est comme si on avait les fruits d'un côté, le bois de l'autre et l'alcool un peu plus loin. Dommage... Autre dégustation : Le temps a permis au rhum d'être plus cohérent. Toutefois le résultat n'est pas encore tout à fait à mon goût. Par ailleurs, l'alcool ne semble pas parfaitement intégré. C'est dommage, on sent que c'est une bouteille qui du potentiel...
