La Favorite La part de l'Ange (Sélection Spéciale Gabriel 2009 2010 2012 2013) 2023

Made for agricole drinkers who want an aged, woody Martinique sipper over raw grass. It's round and elegant: dried figs and apricots, young oak, pepper, a touch of banana and pastry-like sweetness with a green vegetal edge. Several tasters loved the finish but noted a "rhum trop jeune" feel and only medium length. A retirement tribute bottling, tasty but not the deepest of its kind.

The community says
  • Elegant, round palate
  • Dried fig and apricot
  • But: Reads slightly young

Round, woody aged agricole with dried fruit Well-made and easy-going with real elegance — dried fruit, wood and pepper. Most enjoy it, though a few find it a touch young and short for what it is.

7.5/10

A decent rum, but not worth the price. Very vegetal on the nose, a little dried fruit (fig, apricot), quite a bit of oak, a little spice (pepper, vanilla). Too young for us to fully accept. Average length on the palate.

8.7/10

The nose is elegant and fragrant, with sweet dried fruits (dates, apricots, figs), vegetables, young wood, hazelnuts, pastry, citrus. The palate maintains the same aromas with vegetal dominance (even something earthy) and added pepper. The whole round with little depth and body, a short, but delicious finish

Distillery

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.
