"I just cracked open this bottle because I finished the older brother. Just noticed I didn't score the older ones yet, so I will have to check my binders for it. An absolutely wonderful rum, well balanced, lovely nose and great palate with a perfect medium to long finish. Flibuste is the only brand where I always buy at least 2 bottles of each of their old releases because I know their baseline is ver high. I can only recommend this rum even if you're not an Agricole fan. "

"I wouldn't say this is a watered down rum, but it's extremely well balanced and well rounded and in a tasting this should take spot one. Fruity and nice wood well balanced with spices. The alcohol is barely noticed."

"Lorsqu’on évoque la Flibuste de La Favorite, on pense à un certain standard, le prestige et on se réfère au meilleur de ce que propose la Martinique. Ce Millésime 2000 ne déroge pas à la règle. Le nez est extrêmement équilibré, trouvant la parfaite harmonie entre les saveurs florales et végétales (canne à sucre et herbes), les épices douces (vanille, muscade et réglisse) les fruits secs (pruneaux et raisins secs) et les légères notes torréfiées de fruits à coque. C’est très doux et élégant, avec une belle touche de gourmandise qui fait plaisir sur un rhum aussi vieux. En bouche, l’attaque est tout aussi douce. C’est tres suave, crémeux et un peu épais, donnant de la consistance au palais. On ressent l’influence de la vanille, des épices et du bois, mais les saveurs florales et les herbes se montrent également et apportent une touche de fraîcheur agréable qui contrebalance la gourmandise. Les fruits secs et les fruits exotiques sont également présents. L’ensemble est encore une fois très homogène et aucune saveur ne prédomine. La finale est longue, toujours imprégnée des herbes et des notes florales, mais aussi des épices, des fruits secs et confits et de la vanille, avec un soupçon de chocolat. Loin du cliché du « jus de pruneaux » parfois décrié, cette cuvée se veut très élégante et douce, parfaite pour se détendre et accompagner une journée de repos."

"Décriée par certains pour ses “ajouts” la cuvée La Flibuste reste au nez et en bouche un rhum d’exception. Il ne faut pas renier son plaisir. Complexité, harmonie et profondeur. C’est ce rhum qui m’a initié au monde des grands rhums de mélasse. Il est comme une passerelle entre ces deux mondes. Je rêve de déguster “la Flibuste” brut de fût bien que ce ne soit pas au programme de la distillerie."

"This one have been on my shelf for a while, but now it was time to check it out during some warm summer days out in the Stockholm archipelago. The finish is quite long. Overall a typical Martinique Blanc that works well neat and is very good in a TiPunch."

Top review from TheRhumhoe

"A very nice white agricultural rum that draws on a very vegetal and floral profile on the nose, earthy and herbaceous notes mingling with hay as well as the fruity aromas of citrus (lime) and sugar cane, whose sweetness brings a lot of sweetness. The attack on the palate is more intense and biting, with notes of pepper and chili bringing a spicy side that counterbalances the vegetal and floral predominance in the mouth. Fruits, especially citrus, are not far behind. The finish, quite long, leaves this impression of fresh and dry wind, pitted by spices and enhanced by citrus. A rum that would do wonders in Ti Punch."

"Intense nose of fresh cane, very fruity. In mouth it is also very fresh and lemony. It is sincere but above all very convivial... and even more so in Ti-Punch! Available everywhere and for this tasting, tasted at - 35€.this Coeur de Canne allowed to relax the atmosphere while watching the small descriptive video! Show must go on ..."

Top review from Korkennase

"The nose is inviting and the scent of apricot is dominant, followed by floral notes. The taste is floral with a pleasant spiciness and the fruity notes fade into the background. The finish is long with earthy, woody and grassy flavors on the palate. This Rhum Agricole is dry and is suitable as an aperitif or digestif. Highly recommended as a ti-punch 🥃. The lime brings a very lemony and exotic scent to the nose. The taste is peppery with a pleasant sharpness, slightly sweet and exotic. really good."

"One of the smoothest agricoles I have ever tried at this ageing (4 years). The hallmark grassiness is like a gentle kiss closing off the flavor rather than being front and center. This is a pure sipping agricole through and through, it's smoothness and well-mannered flavor wave would be wasted in cocktails. At this price and ageing it's not just good, it's great. My first La Favorite and now I get what all the fuss is about."

"Had a 5 cl sample from Rum Ratings Tasting Club for this tasting. The short aging, 18 Months, in oak have made great impact on this rum. I tasted it neat, but it will probably also be great in cocktails and ti-punch’s. Overall I would say that this is the best Rhum Ambre (1-2 years aging) I’ve tasted so far. "
