La Favorite La Flibuste 1992
Sip this one slow after dinner — it's built for a chair and a quiet hour, not a cocktail. Concentrated and dark, with prune leading the way, then dates, caramel, vanilla and a whiff of old cognac. The 40% keeps it soft and syrupy, almost too easy to drink. Several tasters flag a sweetness that feels dosed, and it barely reads as classic agricole — but almost everyone finishes the glass happy.

How does La Favorite La Flibuste 1992 taste?
Summarized by AI from 39 community reviews.
Rich, prune-heavy sipper, sweeter than most agricole Widely adored as a rich, prune-heavy sipper — most find it delicious and elegant. The recurring caveat: the sweetness feels added and it strays far from typical agricole.

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.

🎁 Echantillon obtenu grâce aux points RX. 🎨 Marron éclatant aux reflets briques. Beaucoup de larmes qui retombent rapidement. Le liquide dans le verre donne l'impression d'une forte dilution. 👃 Sensation pas très agréable de bois brûlé puis mouillé, carton humide, presqu'un peu moisi/champignon (le sample est oxydé ?). Puis, beaucoup de caramel typique des sirops pour la toux Toplexil, de miel industriel, de vanille liquide, de fruits ultra confits dans leur sucre. 😋 Texture sirupeuse. Beaucoup de sucrosité provenant des fruits confits, des pruneaux, cerises, fruits secs, dattes Medjool. Le caramel vanillé liquide est bien présent, il faut vraiment que je compare ça à du Toplexil. C'est relativement équilibré même si l'alcool semble presque trop présent pour du 40%. Le profil me rappelle de vieux Armagnacs dosés ou d'ancienne eaux de vie avec du sucre rajouté. Toujours cette sensation de boisé épicé un peu humide qui me dérange. ⛳ De moyenne à courte, sur cette sensation sucrée, liquoreuse, qui reste en bouche, les saveurs s'effacent assez rapidement. Il reste un peu de chêne, de caramel liquide, de fruits confits, de sucre résiduel. 🫗 Un verre vide qui dégage des arômes d'épices de cuisine, de fruits secs et de caramel de grande consommation. 💡 Cela fait maintenant plus de 10 ans que le blog DuRhum a mis en évidence l'utilisation de différents ajouts dans plusieurs cuvées prestige de la Favorite dont la mythique Flibuste. Notamment l'ajout d'épices et de fruits confits, ainsi qu'un peu de Cognac. D'ailleurs, depuis la Flibuste 2000 et selon l'AOC Martinique, cette cuvée est désignée à juste titre comme étant une boisson spiritueuse à base de rhum. 📝 En étant informé de cela, ce millésime 1992 est plutôt bon, doux, sucré, plaisant, gouleyant avec une très bonne buvabilité grâce à sa forte dilution à tout juste 40% d'ABV. 🤔 J'ai par contre des difficultés à comprendre la moyenne des notes obtenues par les membres RX. A t-on dégusté le même spiritueux ?
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.
Review by Thunderbird
Diese Abfüllung lässt mich zwiegespalten zurück. Am Gaumen habe ich das Gefühl, dass ihm eine ordentliche Dosage hinzugefügt wurde. Aromen von einer künstlichen Süßkirsche… und das mag ich so gar nicht. Andererseits hat er auch herrliche exotische Gewürzaromen die sich im langen Abgang mit klassischen Agricole-Aromen vereinen.. kein leicht zu klassifizierender Rum
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
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
A rum I've heard a lot about. Finally in the glass and what a great dark color! For 40% a solid intensity on the nose, mouth and finish. Fruity and sweet, with a good load of wood. Would be interesting how this rum would taste with a few more percent.
Review by Olivier Raynaut
very sweet, very easy to drink. might deserve some longer finish. seems sweetened to some extent.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Very smooth, elegant Agricole. Relatively sweet, with lots of plum and raisins in the taste. For me, the wood as a counterpoint could be a bit more dominant. Still very tasty. In my opinion, with 40% ABV, also very suitable for beginners.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Super tasty super mild, like a top-tier Martinique spiced rum but somehow no real rum profile anymore because of the very intense plum liqueur note. Still very complex and tasty but definitely not worth 450€ 😂
Review by EUDIER Vincent
Very concentrated, rich, complex. Always such a pretty bottle
Review by Alexander Rasch
Durfte diese tolle Abfüllung bei einem kleinen spontanen Tasting in Stuttgart probieren. Ein sehr süffiger, gefälliger Rum. Das Drumherum, das Design und die Geschichte macht den Rum fast spannender als er ist. Die intensive Pflaume ist schon geil. Mir war er tatsächlich etwas zu dünn obwohl ich zugeben muss das er für 40% eine menge Aromen hat. Lecker allemal. Geschichte in eine Flasche gefüllt. Toll.
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 Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Nez : Épicé avec beaucoup d’arômes de cacao, réglisse , Bouche : L’attaque est gourmande avec une complexité de saveurs, (Miel, Vanille, Poire…). Final : Moyen, mais super rond avec des notes de réglisse. Déçu de ce millésime 1992 comparativement à un plus ancien goûté auparavant (le 1984 ou 1986, je ne m’en souviens plus). Le passage de 30 à 25 ans de vieillissement doit avoir un lien. Mais cela reste un bonbon en bouche et c’est un rhum de plaisir dans lequel on aime s’y replonger agréablement.
Review by théo
Very soft and sweet on the nose and palate.
Review by kargoles
A nectar all in softness. This vegetal and slightly herbal side slowly fades to reveal notes of cocoa and caramel. The length is soft and persistent.
Review by Vinkes89
Taste-wise good. Very sweet in taste and finish. Strong plum note. After some effect, I have to downgrade it rating-wise. It feels very sweet. The sweetness feels constructed and artificial.
