Very dark color. Fruits (cherry and red grapes), spicy, surprisingly little wood and honey for 23 years. Warm, complex, perfectly melted. Sweet and somewhat lighter in the mouth, which makes it very drinkable. A wonderful finish, wintery and spicy, honey, dried fruit. Long too... My first La Favorite. Beautiful rum. Thanks to Bonn for this rare find.

Palate Balanced, complex, fruity, plum, light cherry, floral, medium spicy, medium dry, wood, faint smoke. Finish Medium to long, wood, light prunes, light floral, medium dry, light spicy.
Very nice and round and delicious 😋
Magnificent bottle, really makes you want to try a second glass. Very long on the palate, with magnificent balance. On this second tasting, I'm still under the spell of this incredible rum.
