La Favorite Privilege Hommage à André Dormoy 1999

Members love the fantastic, pastry-agricole nose and dry elegance, but many find the palate thin, mild and short. Overall seen as a solid, traditional vieux agricole, not a game-changer for its age.

    How does La Favorite Privilege Hommage à André Dormoy 1999 taste?

    Stunning nose, light tea-like palate
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy classic Martinique agricoles and don’t mind a lighter body, this is worth a look—the nose is where the magic is, while the palate stays gentle and dry.

    Not really suitable for

    Those wanting rich, oily mouthfeel, long finishes, high ABV impact, or heavily fruity/sweet profiles; newcomers expecting the age statement to mean big, bold flavour.

    I have never seen this bottle until it was in the tasting. A great rum with nicely balanced fruits and spices. The wood is wonderfully balanced with chocolate and roasted notes.

    #23rd dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: sugarcane, pastries, floral, vegetal, grass, spicy, nutty, hazelnut Mouth: dry, light, thin, agricole, vegetal, tea, pastries, hazelnut Finish: mid long, dry, sugarcane, grass, cucumber, mild My prediction: I think it’s from martinique again, but i’m not familiar with that mix of pastries, nutty notes… approx. 40% approx. 5-10years of aging

    RumX Adventskalender 23.11.2022: Blind auf eine deutlich höhere ABV getippt. Sehr trocken, mit gefälligem Profil. Schöner Agricole.

    kommt fast etwas jugendlich daher, trotz der 17 Jahre im Fass. Viel grünes Gemüse an der Nase. Am Gaumen dann deutlich würziger. Die 43% passen hier gut. Nicht schlecht, aber auch noch deutlich Luft nach oben, wenn man zB mit dem la Flibuste vergleicht.
