Review by Oliver
On the nose, lots of plum and pleasant Christmas associations - concentrated and dark. Then dangerously quaffable and smooth on the palate. The sweetness seems a bit on the nose - almost like a shot of prune juice. Perfect as a relaxed, liquid dessert, though.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,9:On the nose, the first impression we get is a bit roasted, waxy, dark, juicy and mineral sugar cane, that is caramelized with dried fruits like dates, figs. It is very elegant and round. It reminds us of an old cognac. Aeration brings out other dark notes like licorice, roasted hazelnuts, toffee, cocoa, black tea, as it is a bit musty. There is some wood presence, but in balance with cane and fruits. Spices are not strong.Nice rest and herbal notes, menthol are here. 9,2:On the palate, the attack is soft, thick, syrupy and delicious with dark sugar cane, waxy and mineral, a bit spicy. The fruits are dried, like dried dates, figs and prunes, some raisins. It is very round and balanced. We come to wood in second attack on our tasting buds, a bit roasted, dry, there are roasted nuts, cocoa, black tea, licorice, some tobacco and toffee, very tasty. More red fruits join the game after resting, as the rum is very earthy, musty. 9,2:The finish is very long, sweet, delicious, woody, dry with dark and mineral sugar cane, musty, vegetal and fruity with all the markers from palate and dried apricots as a addition. Top👌.
Review by cigares
A rum tasted in a restaurant, the last glass in the bottle. The nose is very "corde de chanvre", old barn and raisins, the hallmarks of Favorite. Herbaceous notes, prunes and cognac. The palate is sweet (too sweet?) with citrus and still the old hemp rope and raisins. The finish is long, almost sticky, with vegetal and citrus notes. The empty glass is very similar to the first nose. A full-bodied rum, yet with tension despite the impression of sweetness.
Review by Stefan Persson
Overall an Agricole that’s not giving me an impression of an AOC Agricole, but it’s an excellent rum. I believe most people should have problems to categorize it as an Agricole in a blind taste. Got a sample of this very special Agricole from RumX, produced by La Favorite in Martinique. The nose is fruity, woody, sweet and a little smoky with aromas of prunes, caramel, vanilla and chocolate. At the palate it’s super smooth and round with the aromas coming back as tastes together with licorice. The finish is between medium and long and also super smooth and round.

This is a very nice La Favorite. And as usual they just deliver. The nose is fruity and sweet with spices and some barrel in the back. The palate is sweet and balanced with a lot of fruit and some caramel and vanilla. The rum makes nice curtains in the glass. The finish is long and lightly sweet with barrel, vanilla and a hint of licorice.
Review by TheJackDrop
First buccaneering sample, After so much reading and re-reading, I must admit that one thing is certain: on the nose and palate, it's like nothing else. The nose is ultra-sweet, with hints of dried dates, caramel and red fruit, but I find it a little synthetic, The palate follows suit, with a suave, honeyed quality that's almost... supernatural! It's hard to believe. I'm a bit puzzled. The ending is all about honey, spices, dates and so on. Very long and surprising for 40 degrees! In any case, it's a must-taste, nothing to say!
Review by Tim
Ein Rum, von dem ich schon viel gehört habe. Endlich im Glas und was für eine tolle dunkle Farbe! Für 40% eine solide Intensität an der Nase, Mund und Abgang. Fruchtig und süß, mit einer guten Ladung Holz. Wäre interessant, wie dieser Rum mit ein paar Prozenten mehr schmecken würde.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Sehr sanfter, eleganter Agricole. Relativ süß, im Geschmack viel Pflaume und Rosinen. Für mich könnte das Holz als Gegenspieler etwas dominanter sein. Trotzdem sehr lecker. Meiner Meinung nach durch die 40%/auch sehr gut für Einsteiger geeignet.
Review by EUDIER Vincent
Très concentré, gras, complexe. Toujours une aussi jolie bouteille
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Sau lecker Sau mild, wie ein Endstufe Martinique spiced rum aber halt irgendwie auch kein richtiges Rum Profil mehr durch die doch sehr intensive pflaumenlikör Note. Dennoch sehr komplex und lecker aber halt keine 450€ wert 😂
Review by Olivier Raynaut
very sweet, very easy to drink. might deserve some longer finish. seems sweetened to some extent.

Au nez comme en bouche très doux et sucré
Review by TheCoonOfRum
La Flibuste 1992, mon premier coups de cœur dans le monde du rhum, étant le 2ème rhum que j’ai pu goûter dans mon jeune parcours après un Zacapa... je ne suis donc pas très objectif! Au Nez j’y trouve des notes de caramel, de boisé, légers épices, et une touche de réglisse, la vanille est également présente. En bouche je retrouve tout ces arômes, avec une pointe de cacao peut être mais sans conviction. La finale est plutôt longue, douce ou on peut profiter de tout les arômes, en particulier un boisé un peu plus présent, et toujours ces notes de réglisse et caramel, bref, j’adore. Dommage que les prix de ces bouteilles s’envolent à ce point là, à un prix correct, je reprendrais sans aucun doute une bouteille, mais la..
Review by Alexander Rasch
Durfte diese tolle Abfüllung bei einem kleinen spontanen Tasting in Stuttgart probieren. Einsehen süffiger, gefälliger Rum. Das Drumherum macht den Rum fast spannender als erwartet. Die Flasche und die Entstehung faszinieren. Mir war er tatsächlich etwas zu dünn obwohl ich zugeben muss das er für 40% eine menge Aromen hat. Lecker allemal.
Review by Vinkes89
Geschmacklich gut. Sehr süß im Geschmack und Abgang. Pflaumennote stark vorhanden. Nach etwas Wirkung muss ich ihn bewertungtechnisch nach unten korrigieren. Er wirkt sehr süß. Die Süsse wirkt konstruiert und künstlich.
