    18.12.2021 Participating in a nice tasting given to me as a present. Nice hotel in a very central location. Notes Medium to dark in colour. Nose Fresh, light wood, faint roaster, floral, light grass, floral, faint honey. Palate Round, fresh, light wood, naturally sweet, ligh grass, faint caramel, light nutts, light citrus. Finish Medium long, fresh, light wood, fruits, citrus.

    Very intense and complex despite the dilution. I like it very much!

    Un rhum dans lequel il se passe beaucoup de choses. Malheureusement, il n'est pas bien équilibré. C'est comme si on avait les fruits d'un côté, le bois de l'autre et l'alcool un peu plus loin. Dommage... Autre dégustation : Le temps a permis au rhum d'être plus cohérent. Toutefois le résultat n'est pas encore tout à fait à mon goût. Par ailleurs, l'alcool ne semble pas parfaitement intégré. C'est dommage, on sent que c'est une bouteille qui du potentiel...

    Nose: fruity on banana/roasted notes Mouth: warm but greedy/spicyFinal: long on tobacco This 2012 vintage is clearly more expressive and interesting than the 2015. This is what I expect from a good agricultural rum from La Favorite.
