On the nose, lots of plum and pleasant Christmas associations - concentrated and dark. Then dangerously quaffable and smooth on the palate. The sweetness seems a bit on the nose - almost like a shot of prune juice. Perfect as a relaxed, liquid dessert, though.
8,9:On the nose, the first impression we get is a bit roasted, waxy, dark, juicy and mineral sugar cane, that is caramelized with dried fruits like dates, figs. It is very elegant and round. It reminds us of an old cognac. Aeration brings out other dark notes like licorice, roasted hazelnuts, toffee, cocoa, black tea, as it is a bit musty. There is some wood presence, but in balance with cane and fruits. Spices are not strong.Nice rest and herbal notes, menthol are here. 9,2:On the palate, the attack is soft, thick, syrupy and delicious with dark sugar cane, waxy and mineral, a bit spicy. The fruits are dried, like dried dates, figs and prunes, some raisins. It is very round and balanced. We come to wood in second attack on our tasting buds, a bit roasted, dry, there are roasted nuts, cocoa, black tea, licorice, some tobacco and toffee, very tasty. More red fruits join the game after resting, as the rum is very earthy, musty. 9,2:The finish is very long, sweet, delicious, woody, dry with dark and mineral sugar cane, musty, vegetal and fruity with all the markers from palate and dried apricots as a addition. Top👌.
A rum tasted in a restaurant, the last glass in the bottle. The nose is very "corde de chanvre", old barn and raisins, the hallmarks of Favorite. Herbaceous notes, prunes and cognac. The palate is sweet (too sweet?) with citrus and still the old hemp rope and raisins. The finish is long, almost sticky, with vegetal and citrus notes. The empty glass is very similar to the first nose. A full-bodied rum, yet with tension despite the impression of sweetness.
Overall an Agricole that’s not giving me an impression of an AOC Agricole, but it’s an excellent rum. I believe most people should have problems to categorize it as an Agricole in a blind taste. Got a sample of this very special Agricole from RumX, produced by La Favorite in Martinique. The nose is fruity, woody, sweet and a little smoky with aromas of prunes, caramel, vanilla and chocolate. At the palate it’s super smooth and round with the aromas coming back as tastes together with licorice. The finish is between medium and long and also super smooth and round.
