La Favorite Exploration No. 3 2020
Most tasters land in the "young and grassy" camp and enjoy it — fresh sugarcane, cedar, pepper and a light oaky bitterness from the mix of American and French oak. A few find it thin, and one thought their sample tasted like an old cupboard. It's a short-aged Martinique agricole: floral, vegetal, a touch oily, more curiosity than must-have.
The community says- Fresh sugarcane
- Floral, grassy
- But: Can feel thin

Aggregated from 28 community reviews.
Young, grassy Martinique agricole with cedar and spice Most enjoy a fresh, grassy agricole with cedar, spice and light oak bitterness. Some call it a bit thin, and it reads more as a distillery curiosity than an essential bottle.

Yo les frérots, La Favorite - exploration n°3 - 🇲🇶 - 49,8% Pour cette troisième édition de la serie exploration, La Favorite, la derniere distillerie familiale de la martinique avec neisson, a broyé de la canne de la récolte 2020. Le distillat obtenu a ensuite vieilli 18 mois au sein de 15 fûts sélectionnés avec soin : 9 fûts de chêne américain chauffés à forte température 3 fûts de chêne français chauffés à température moyenne 3 fûts de chêne français chauffés à basse température. Cet assemblage donne un jus ou on retrouve la cerise (fleur de cerisier) accompagné par un peu de comme et cacao au nez. En bouche la cerise se fait plus présente avec egalement un peu de raisin, de l'amande effilée, de la vanille et un bois atypique de la martinique (que je retrouve bcp dans les autres cuvées de La Favorite) qui donne un peu d'amertume. Santé

La Roue des Rhums Adventskalender 2023 Nr. 23. Hier ein La Favorite. Für mich hat er eine überwiegende Weinnase, Rotwein würde ich sagen, aber von Wrin hab ich keine Ahnung. Am Gaumen dann viel Holz, außerdem Gewürze und pflanzlich.
Review by Johannes
Nice young Agricole with lots of floral notes. Seems a bit thin.
Review by Gd Flo
Du grand ESB ! Un nez agréable, une bouche mêlant canne fraîche et notes empyreumatiques, un finish long et très plaisant font de cet ESB une belle réussite.
Review by Pascal Gwada
Calendrier de l'avent 2023. Est-ce que mon sample a mal tourné ? C'est tout simplement mauvais, odeur et goût de vieux placard même pas de cuir ou cigare ni bois, alcool non intégré, pas bon.
