La Favorite La Flibuste 1998
Widely regarded as a world-class La Favorite vintage: complex yet gentle, beautifully balanced, fruity‑spicy with a silky texture and satisfying length, especially impressive for 40% ABV.
Agricole fans who want a mature, complex but easy-drinking sipper with silky texture and rich baked fruit and spice rather than high-ester funk or cask-strength power.

How does La Favorite La Flibuste 1998 taste?
Silky, mature agricole at its best
If you like well-aged agricoles like J.M or Clément but wish they were softer and silkier, this vintage La Flibuste gives you that same depth in a very drinkable 40% package.
Those chasing high ABV impact, intense Jamaican funk, or budget-friendly daily pours—this is gentle, refined and priced as a rare bottle.

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.
