La Favorite La Flibuste 1995

Prunes, raisins and dark chocolate lead here, wrapped in a syrupy texture that coats the palate — this is a 25-year agricole that drinks nothing like a young grassy Martinique rum. Several tasters catch old tawny port, maple syrup, even a faint cola note over old oak. Rich and mild at 40%, deep rather than lively. The recurring gripe: the age is real, the price is steep.

The community says
  • Prune & cocoa depth
  • Syrupy texture
  • But: Steep for the ABV

Another very nice release, though not fully up to par with the older versions. Very fruity from nose to finish with a touch of spices and oak. I love the smoky finish on this particular release. Price is pretty high but a good rum none the less.

La Favorite 

Avg Rating 8.1/10 over 220 Rums

La Favorite is the last working distillery inside Martinique's capital, Fort-de-France, and the island's longest continuously family-run house. Five generations of the Dormoy family have made rhum here on a 1906 steam engine that still turns the mill. It is agricole at its most unvarnished, and the community treasures its old La Flibuste vintages as some of the finest aged Martinique rum there is.
