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.

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.

Perfect for

lovers of sweet, prune-rich after-dinner sippers

8.2/10

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.

7.9/10

🎁 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 ?

9.1/10

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👌.

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.
