Les Frères de la Côte La Favorite Ed. 041 Captain's Choice Matinik 2015
Most tasters land in the same spot: a shy, dusty-cellar nose that opens up after time, then a much better palate full of tropical and dried fruit, wood spice and a green, earthy edge. Several call it drier and older-tasting than its four-plus years. The long, bittersweet finish with that "vieille corde de chanvre" rope note is the part people remember.
The community says- Long bittersweet finish
- Tropical & dried fruit
- But: Shy, dusty nose

Dry La Favorite agricole, quiet nose, long finish Well-liked La Favorite agricole with a quiet nose but an ample, fruity palate and a long finish. A couple of members felt the value didn't match the price.

A bottle opened for the occasion. A closet nose with dust and old cellar notes. Very little on the nose, but there's vegetal and some fruit. The palate is much better, with tropical fruit and vegetal notes. A long, beautiful finish with bitters and fruit, and a lingering impression of old hemp rope. There's a huge difference between a very discreet nose and a fine, full-bodied palate and, above all, a fine finish.

Decent rum. You can feel the youthfulness of the rum, with pepper and spiciness, but also apple. Poor value for money though. I expected more at this price.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Very gentle well aged agricole rhum. Not too grassy. Some hay. Woodspice well integrated. Provincial herbs. Honeycomb. Freshness. Light. Dry. Astringent. Balanced, easy but not too easy. Taste def older than its age.

26.03.2021 Sitting at home enjoying some new samples I got. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Wood, light roasted, vegetal, light sugarcane, light citrus, faint cherry. Palate Intense, spicy, wood, dried fruit, balanced, sugarcane, light olive, faint floral. Finish Long and warm, fruits, spice, oily, wood, light spicy. Extra note. Need to rest to fully release its flavours, especially the wood shines through after resting.
Review by Timo Groeger
Auch ein guter Rum, nur finde etwas überteuert. Nase etwas schwierig, aber für mich hiergetrocknete Früchte und sehr pflanzlich. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls getrocknete und auch tropische Früchte, sowie ebenfalls pflanzlich und erdig.
Review by Winetrader
First opening, vegetal nose that opened up after 15 minutes. Full-bodied, airy rum with fire. Very long finish
Review by Sebastiaan Linssen
Tasted at GRF opening party This is my first rum from Tres Hombres, I was familiar with the name, nothing more. The packing is interesting, seems like a bottle where they store jenever in. The smell is a bit like it was old and dusty, like it had been aged in a clay pot. Taste is very good, although that same off taste is still present, but not unpleasant. All in all, a nice sample.
