9.4/10

Sweet, woody and fruity from nose to finish. The balance is perfect and I still have 2 backup bottles in the back of my shelf :-)

9.3/10

On the nose honey, red fruits, plums, wood, vanilla. On the palate, the same notes perceived on the nose are found, with added floral and slightly spicy/toasted notes. The finish is long and full-bodied, with a slightly earthy/musty aftertaste. I expected a more marked woodiness like in 1999, and less plums. However, it has perfect roundness and a unique overall aroma. I tried mixing it with a few drops of Montebello1948 and the score rises a few points, thanks to the smoky notes, between 94-95.

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.
