Review by Joachim Guger
Very dark color. Fruits (cherry and red grapes), spicy, surprisingly little wood and honey for 23 years. Warm, complex, perfectly melted. Sweet and somewhat lighter in the mouth, which makes it very drinkable. A wonderful finish, wintery and spicy, honey, dried fruit. Long too... My first La Favorite. Beautiful rum. Thanks to Bonn for this rare find.

Review by Winetrader
Magnificent bottle, really makes you want to try a second glass. Very long on the palate, with magnificent balance. On this second tasting, I'm still under the spell of this incredible rum.

First Flibuste vintage tasted. I'm not disappointed for the quality, too bad for the price...
Review by Tschusikowsky
A very full-bodied rum for its 40 volumes. Creamy, silky, very tasty. There's not quite as much going on in the finish.
Review by Pierre-Antoine RVT
What can I say... I haven't tasted many rums yet, but this is undeniably the best rum I've tasted. Everything I love: round, gourmand, woody, balanced, sweet but powerful... you can really feel the 23 years spent in casks. This rum is simply magnificent. I can't wait to taste its little and big sisters!

Ce millésime 98 disponible en micro quantité m’a réconcilié avec la Flibuste! La meilleure année mais très peu de volume malheureusement...
Review by Jacques etdom
Au nez des épices, des fruits, du raisin, de ma prune. Assez intense en bouche pour un rhum à 40 degrés. Fin de bouche et finale sur les épices. Agréable et gouleyant.
Review by Greg_Stutt
Un excellent rhum qui a bien vieilli, très soyeux en bouche
