La Favorite La Flibuste Old Cuvee Speciale 1977

Collectors chasing old Martinique agricole are the ones hunting this down — a 1977 distillate given 33 years in oak, and it drinks nothing like a young rhum. Expect prune and dense wood on the nose, rancio and walnut, then a menthol-tinged palate with cinnamon and clove. One taster called it a bridge between aged molasses rums and aged agricole. The finish just won't quit, even at a gentle 40%.

The community says
  • Rancio and prune depth
  • Very long finish
  • But: Rare, hard to find

Summarized by AI from 11 community reviews.

Deep, oaky old Martinique agricole for sipping Members treat this as a rare, contemplative pour — full-bodied despite the low proof, with prune, oak and a finish that lingers. The catch is scarcity: distillery-only and hard to find.

Perfect for

collectors of aged agricole and rancio lovers

Less suitable for

A rum tasted at the WLP. A very dense and concentrated nose of prunes and wood with fruits and vegetal notes in the background. A mentholated palate with quite a bit of depth. A very long finish. An exceptional rum, a kind of bridge between molasses rums and aged agricole rums.

This rum you will have to buy at the destillery i was told by the over of this bottle. Very expensive but also a very good rum. The oak is very prominent from nose to finish without being too dominant. Fruity and lots of wonderful spices. I think I sensed some cardamom but I'm not entirely sure. Wonderful rum but out of my price range.

Oh wow, what a fine drop. Blind, I wouldn't have necessarily classified this as Agricole at first sniff and sip. It's hard to really describe this old bottling, somehow different from the bottlings nowadays. Glad I got to try this.

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.
