    How does this rum taste?

    La Favorite's Exploration N°3 is a Martinique rum, distilled in 2020 using cane juice and aged for 18 months in a mix of American and French oak. Bottled at 49.8% ABV, this limited release (4,100 bottles) rum balances vegetal, citrus, and peppery aromas with woody, spicy, and sugarcane flavors. Users found it fresh with complex notes of cherry, raisin, and vanilla alongside typical Agricole vegetal undertones. While some find its medium body sophisticated, others criticize the integration of flavors, describing it as inconsistent. Overall, the rum’s distinct character and limited availability attract connoisseurs looking for a unique tasting experience.

    Du grand ESB ! Un nez agréable, une bouche mêlant canne fraîche et notes empyreumatiques, un finish long et très plaisant font de cet ESB une belle réussite.

    Calendrier de l'avent 2023. Est-ce que mon sample a mal tourné ? C'est tout simplement mauvais, odeur et goût de vieux placard même pas de cuir ou cigare ni bois, alcool non intégré, pas bon.

    La Roue des Rhums Adventskalender 2023 Nr. 23. Hier ein La Favorite. Für mich hat er eine überwiegende Weinnase, Rotwein würde ich sagen, aber von Wrin hab ich keine Ahnung. Am Gaumen dann viel Holz, außerdem Gewürze und pflanzlich.

    Yo les frérots, La Favorite - exploration n°3 - 🇲🇶 - 49,8% Pour cette troisième édition de la serie exploration, La Favorite, la derniere distillerie familiale de la martinique avec neisson, a broyé de la canne de la récolte 2020. Le distillat obtenu a ensuite vieilli 18 mois au sein de 15 fûts sélectionnés avec soin : 9 fûts de chêne américain chauffés à forte température 3 fûts de chêne français chauffés à température moyenne 3 fûts de chêne français chauffés à basse température. Cet assemblage donne un jus ou on retrouve la cerise (fleur de cerisier) accompagné par un peu de comme et cacao au nez. En bouche la cerise se fait plus présente avec egalement un peu de raisin, de l'amande effilée, de la vanille et un bois atypique de la martinique (que je retrouve bcp dans les autres cuvées de La Favorite) qui donne un peu d'amertume. Santé
