Pour this one neat and give it a few minutes — that's how tasters get the most from it. The nose is balanced sugarcane, vanilla and dried fruit (raisins, prunes), and the palate turns soft, creamy and almost "pâtissier," with spice, wood, nuts and a touch of chocolate. What surprises people most is how much depth La Favorite pulled from just 40% ABV. Long, sweet finish.

Summarized by AI from 40 community reviews.
Soft, complex agricole that overdelivers at 40% Widely loved as top-shelf Martinique agricole: soft, elegant and remarkably complex for 40%. The only real caveat is that it's so easy-drinking a bottle disappears fast.

Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
My first La Flibuste and what can I say, I'm thrilled. A wonderfully fruity and balanced Agricole. It's amazing how much you can get out of 40%. Very smooth, elegant and unfortunately also dangerously drinkable. The bottle probably wouldn't last long. Nevertheless, I think I need one of these :D
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is one of my new samples I got and I had great expectations, because Flibuste is a name that comes with a note saying "Ultra Top Shelf" in my mind. My expectations were met to the fullest. The nose well balanced, sweet and definitely Agricole with fruit, vanilla and cane. There is a very light note of wood. The palate is complex, sweet and very well balanced and typical Agricole with fruit, spices, cane, chocolate with light notes og wood and nuts. The finish is medium to long and sweet with dried fruit, chocolate and spices. Leave to rest for a while to get all the notes and save the empty glass for later nosing.
Review by TheRhumhoe
When we think of Flibuste de La Favorite, we think of a certain standard, prestige, and refer to the best that Martinique has to offer. This 2000 vintage is no exception. The nose is extremely well-balanced, finding the perfect harmony between floral and vegetal flavors (sugar cane and herbs), sweet spices (vanilla, nutmeg and licorice), dried fruits (prunes and raisins) and light roasted notes of nuts. It's very smooth and elegant, with a nice touch of gourmandise that's a pleasure on such an old rum. On the palate, the attack is just as smooth. It's very smooth, creamy and a little thick, giving consistency to the palate. The influence of vanilla, spices and wood can be felt, but floral flavors and herbs also come through, adding a pleasant touch of freshness that counterbalances the greediness. Dried and exotic fruits are also present. Once again, the whole is very homogeneous, with no single flavor dominating. The finish is long, still imbued with herbs and floral notes, but also spices, dried and candied fruits and vanilla, with a hint of chocolate. Far from the "prune juice" cliché sometimes decried, this cuvée is very elegant and smooth, perfect for relaxing and accompanying a day of rest.
Review by Leo Krüper
Incredibly smooth, complex La Flibuste. A dream. The depth at 40% is incredible
Review by Émile Shevek
On the nose red fruits, toasted and forest. On the palate always red fruits, roasted nuts(hazelnuts and cashews), forest, wood, barrel, all full-bodied, dense and perfectly round. Very long finish and in the glass empty wood and roasted. In the aftertaste damp and musty/earthy wood. It is similar to the 1999 but less dry and sweeter
Review by Romain de L
Really excellent. Nice nose: wood, fruit, sweetness. Very easy / round to the mouth. Quite « pâtissier » and top notch rum
Review by Roman Lelek
In the nose, I sense raisins or the sweetness of overripe fruit... on the palate, softness, wood, a bit of vanilla, but mainly this rum also has a finish - medium to long, where sweet wood appears, a bit of marzipan, and it doesn't slip away from the palate like, for example, Cihuatan. I'm adding it to my wishlist..
Review by Jan Odvody
My TOP 3. Excellent rum.
Review by Adrianv
Excellent Agricole! Extremely complex given low ABV. Fruity, herbal, wood, sweet, spice, tea, chocolate and much more. Elegant and balanced on nose, sweet, floral, wood. Complex on palate, nutty, sweet, wood and nuts and much more, extremely complex for 40% ABV! long finish with nutty, spicy, dried fruit and sweet taste. Extremely addictive rum! Happy to keep 17 bottles, each different vintage, ready for tasting over coming decades:)
Review by ZAYON
A smooth flavor, a perfect balance between spicy and woody with a hint of floral and a persistent length on the palate!!
