Another wonderful release from La Favorite. I will have to get some more releases from this destiller. Fruity with lots of spices and oak. As a topping there is chocolate and tobacco.

8.3/10

Very pleasant rum, even without being "raised" in alcohol degree beforehand. Smell first on fresh fruit (pineapple?), touch of vanilla, almost caramel. Attack a bit on the barrel, (camphor?), the agricole side is well present. Very round on the palate, very pleasant then candied fruit (prune?). Nice finish but a bit short, a pity

This La Favorite Réserve du Château 2000 cuvée is a great success, a rum that revolves around wood and spices, especially pepper.

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.
