La Favorite Millésime 2014 BDF
Reviewers keep marveling at the same thing: eight years in ex-bourbon casks, and it still drinks like a great rhum blanc. Fresh sugarcane, lime zest and that peppery Martinique bite lead, with vanilla, dates and candied fruit filling in behind. Oily and round on the palate, the 47.1% barely shows. One taster found the earthy, zesty side a touch much.
The community says- Fresh cane & pepper
- Oily round body
- But: Earthy zest divides

Aggregated from 17 community reviews.
Aged agricole that still drinks like a rhum blanc Widely loved among agricole fans for keeping its cane-juice freshness through the barrel. A couple wanted more richness on the palate, but balance is the recurring verdict.

J'aime beaucoup le nez qui conserve ses marqueurs de rhum blanc avec une belle touche de violette en plus. Par contre, la bouche manque de gourmandise avec un zeste et un côté terreux trop marqué à mon goût.
Review by Julien Ries
Le nez présente une jolie couleur dorée. Le nez est l'un des plus envoûtants que j'ai pu sentir sur un Martiniquais. Malgré ses 9 ans en fût de bourbon, il a gardé tous les marqueurs d'un excellent rhum blanc et c'est désarmant. Citron vert avec son zeste, herbe fraîche, jus de canne gorgée de soleil. On se croirait avec un ti punch. C'est gourmand et frais avec un fruité puissant et ce poivré typique de l'île. À tomber à la renverse ! En bouche, là encore cette canne fraîche, ce poivré et ce côté herbacé qui se mêle à la vanille. L'intégration de l'alcool est excellente. Un second trait révèle des arômes de khumkat avec un léger côté fumé et pimenté. Un délice et on est surpris agréablement par ce rhum qui sort de l'ordinaire. La finale est moyennement longue et toujours sur cette gourmandise de bonbon aux agrumes, toujours aussi fruité et épicé avec un léger boisé qui pointe le bout de son nez, mêlé à une réglisse rafraîchissante.
Review by Émile Shevek
Sweet and caramel nose with some citrus, wood, roasted hazelnuts and vegetal. The palate is full-bodied with noble wood, vanilla, caramel/pastry cream, some sweet fruit (dates), some bourbon notes, light spice (pepper) and some savoriness, all extremely rounded. The finish is delicate if lingering; it seems to have 40°. In the empty glass fermented and cane. The rating fluctuates between 9 and 9.1
Review by BnBrt
Un bon rhum agricole, moins à mon goût. Nez sur le fruit confit / fruit sec. Très herbacé, petites notes de fût. Belle finale.
Review by Fabrice Rouanet
A great 2014 vintage! Incredible aromatic richness and intensity, a sweetness of dried fruit on the palate, spices and pastry notes! Superbly balanced, a real treat!
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
La Favorite – Brut de Fût 2014 – 47,1% Embouteillé à 5 000 exemplaires, ce millésime 2014 a été mis en vieillissement en octobre 2014 dans des fûts ex-bourbon, avant d’être tiré en janvier 2023 en brut de fût à 47,1%. Soit 8 années de repos pour un rhum qui a tout d’un grand ! Au programme : une belle intensité aromatique, de la douceur sur les fruits secs, les épices et de délicates notes pâtissières. Un vrai régal, superbement équilibré, et largement au-dessus des derniers millésimes que j’avais goûtés (2010, 2017...).
Review by Cachac 23
Très bon millésime et brut de fût à signaler au passage. La sélection du fût fait ressortir des arômes équilibré. Une merveille.
