La Favorite Plaisance Canne Bleue 2023

One Italian taster called this "the quintessence of canne bleue," and that captures why fans rate it high: intense fresh sugarcane, flowers, damp forest earth and a squeeze of grapefruit, with black pepper spice underneath. The palate runs oily but dry at 51%. A recurring split, though — a couple of members find the attack too harsh and too smoky, missing the cane entirely.

The community says
  • Vivid fresh cane
  • Earthy & floral
  • But: Harsh attack

Too hard on the attack. Too much smoke. I can't find the blue cane. Quite disappointed.

9.1/10

Perfumed nose with intense sweet cane, floral, vegetal(green) and some citrus. The palate is clear and intense with notes of autumn underbrush loam, moss, sweet cane, flowers, light citrus, super delicious! A "grappa" with great personality, for me quintessential cane bleue. In the empty glass musk and earth (my favorite aromas, that's why the high rating, objectively an 8+)

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.
