    How does this rum taste?

    The "Martinique" rum from the La Favorite distillery is a unique offering, bottled by Cave Guildive. Crafted from sugar cane juice and distilled with a column still, it has aged for six years, leading to a balanced integration of its high ABV of 65%. Limited to just 264 bottles, this rum presents a complex aroma profile with dominant herbal, vegetal, and subtle vanilla notes. Its taste is a harmonious mix of fruity, tropical, and vegetal elements that intrigue connoisseurs. User reviews highlight its earthy, herbal character, complemented by a finish of wood and dried fruits, although some find the vegetal notes overpowering. This well-structured rum offers a rich, exploration-worthy experience that appeals particularly to enthusiasts of Martinique's agricole expressions.

    Tasting at J. B. Labat. Like a vegetable pastry on the nose! Herbs and tropical fruits, vanilla. The palate is marked by vegetal bitterness, like an Italian Amaro. But also delicate floral and fruity notes. A noble bitterness accompanies the entire tasting experience. The finish is long, elegant and complex. The discreet wood appears with elegance. A beautiful, expressive finish and perfect integration of the alcohol. A delicious rum.

    #4667 23.03.2024 Relaxing at home after picking up two sets of online tasting in Flensburg. At the same time planning what to bring to Blåvand when I visit a fellow RumX from Germany. Nose Light roasted wood, faint smoke, fruits, light herbs, faint glue, grass, balanced. Palate Balanced, wood, light roasted, Agricole, fruits, light glue, faint smoke, light earthy. Finish Medium long, wood, dried fruit, grass. The empty glass has some tobacco and faint caramel notes.

    Absolt spezielles Profil, dass ich so noch nicht hatte. Lohnt sich definitiv mal zu probiere. Die eher erdigen Komponenten sind hier absolut im Vordergrund. Es schmeckt nach Zedernholz, Tannennadeln und wie eine holzige Zigarrenschachtel. Hatte zudem den Geschmack von Plasitk und Knettmasse. Zu Beginn fordert das Profil einem kurz, Alkoholintegration ist sehr gut, die 65% sind wenig bemerkbar. Macht sehr viel Spass zu erkunden.

    Nose is an bit to dump and grasy for my personal taste, but in the palate this bottling is extremly nice. High intensity, loads of fruits and and agricole notes.
