Aroma visualization from community tastings
La Favorite Privilege Hommage à André Dormoy 1999
Grass, nougat and a croissant-like pastry note make the nose the star here — several tasters call it gigantic. The palate is a different story: dry, spicy and vegetal in that classic Martinique way, but light and thin, and the flavors "don't last that long." A pleasant old agricole that promises more on the nose than it keeps in the mouth.
The community says- Gorgeous pastry nose
- Dry, classic agricole
- But: Thin body

How does La Favorite Privilege Hommage à André Dormoy 1999 taste?
Aggregated from 24 community reviews.
Great nose, thin and short agricole A gorgeous, pastry-and-nut nose that most people love, then a thin, dry palate that fades fast. Nice but a touch underwhelming for 17 years.

Review by TheRhumhoe
Un vieux rhum de La Favorite qui débute avec un nez assez homogène, associant de belles notes florales aux arômes pâtissiers et fruités. Le profil manque toutefois un peu de vivacité et d’expression, et ce même après aération dans le verre. En bouche, l’attaque est très légère et la dilution perceptible. Le côté agricole domine avec ses notes herbacées, florales et végétales, soutenu par un soupçon épicé, boisé et pâtissier (nougat notamment). Les saveurs se dissipent rapidement en bouche. La finale, de longueur moyenne, se veut légèrement plus chaude, épicée et rôtie, mais conserve une part végétale importante. Un rhum traditionnelle dans ses saveurs, quelque peu timide, sans grande surprise et dont on aurait pu attendre plus pour le compte d’âge. Le manque de caractère, d’impact et de complexité lui font malheureusement défaut et ne lui permettent pas de se distinguer des autres vieux rhums agricoles.

#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
Review by Thunderbird
Ein klassische Agricole-Nase mit einem Hauch „Altem“, sowie Gras, Holz, dezentem Nougat! Am Gaumen fühlt er sich leicht und dünn an! Erstaunlicherweise entwickelt er dennoch ein breites Spektrum an Aromen! Der Gaumen ist stark pflanzlich und modrig.. irgendwie schmecke ich auch Gurke und das sagt mir leider nicht zu!
Review by Tschusikowsky
Agricole mit altem Holz. Am Gaumen würzig und grasig. Das Alter kommt in der Trockenheit durch. Im Mund halten die tollen und intensiven Geschmäcker leider nur gut einige Sekunden. Ansonsten wäre es ein guter Tropfen. Recht Süss.

Review by RumTaTa
Ich versuche mich seit einiger Zeit dem französischen Stil anzunähern aber das gelingt bisher nur sehr bedingt. Hier gefällt mir die Nase ganz gut aber der Rum ist mir am Gaumen zu gesetzt und mild. Ich werde weiter probieren.
Review by Christian Rudt
Sehr einladende Nase da will man probieren, schmeckt dann sehr Richtung Tee. Kamillentee mit etwas Honigsüsse hab ich blind gesagt. Schon sehr rund aber dann irgendwie auch leider zu dünn.
Review by mto75
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.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Lovely nose and initially quite delicious (sweet pastry agricole flavors with some dryness from te wood). But pretty thin and the fun doesn’t last that long:
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Nase ist gigantisch wie Croissant mit Nuss Nougat Creme! Geschmacklagen leider etwas dünn und schnell weg aber dennoch eine sehr schöne Aromatik!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
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.
Review by HenryL
RumX Adventskalender 23.12. Spannendes Profil zwischen Holz, Nuss und Tee. Leider aber etwas dünn. Immerhin riechen tut er sehr sehr gut!
Review by Oliver
Fantastische Nase, aber am Gaumen zu schnell weg.
Review by Buddudharma
RumX Adventskalender 23.11.2022: Blind auf eine deutlich höhere ABV getippt. Sehr trocken, mit gefälligem Profil. Schöner Agricole.
