La Favorite Millésime 2011
Woodier and spicier than you'd expect from a Martinique agricole — oak runs nose to finish, with black pepper, anise and pencil shavings alongside ripe yellow fruit (mirabelle, prune, a little banana). At 49.7% the alcohol is mostly well integrated, though a couple of tasters find the attack sharp and the finish short. Most drinkers land on balanced and powerful.
The community says- Ripe yellow fruit
- Well-integrated proof
- But: Very woody

This is also a lovely rum. The wood is there from nose to finish. Add some fruit and spices to the peppery/spicy palate and you fell like in heaven. A wonderful Agricole. Would have loved a higher ABV :-)

Not too thrilled with this profile. Too much nutmeg and pepper for me. Some connoisseurs should appreciate it. I regret its lack of length on the palate.
Review by Jarek
Tasted together with the 2010 vintage (RX 839). Compared to the 2010, the nose here is fruitier, but less vegetal/floral. This direction continues on the palate and in the finish. Both very tasty, I can't pick a favorite (small play on words).
Review by Benoit Mahe
Une très belle réussite.
Review by Galli33
This is a great rum from la favorite! Very smooth, delicious, balanced agricole. The alcohol is intergrated very well. With some more AbV/% this rum would hit a higher (90) score, for sure.
Review by F.L.O.
The counter sample to the 2010 (RX 839). In my opinion, it is fruitier, but the typical Agricol notes recede further into the background. I think I can taste wood, spice and even a little pepper. The finish could be longer. Narrowly lost to 839
Review by N’ours
Un beau nez, fruité et boisé. De la prune, mirabelle, et du pruneaux. En bouches, c’est très équilibré mais l’attaque est franche. On retrouve les fruits jaunes, bien murs, avec des notes boisés et épicés. La finale et piquante et boisé, très agréable. Une fois de plus les bruts de fut nous transportent dans une autre dimension avec beaucoup d’arôme et de puissance.
Review by Maxence
This rum's profile is way too woody and spicy to my liking. Unfortunately, neither the 8 years of aging nor the Cognac and Bourbon casks managed to balance this distillate. I'm very curious to try another rum from this distillery with a higher age count to see if the magic happens. Otherwise, I'll have to try a cuvée La Flibuste 😅
Review by alex
Très aromatique et puissant. Belle note d’épices et légèrement poivré. De bons fruits bien mûrs. Ça passe vraiment bien 😍
Review by Harald
Color: Amber to light bright orange-brown Aroma: Sweet (honey), fruity (banana, pineapple), fresh, aromatic and alcoholic. Floral aromas (orange blossom) and perfume. Spicy (aniseed) and woody. Taste: Not very sweet in the mouth, then aromas of caramel and liquorice. Spicy on the swallow, pencil shavings and liquorice. Somewhat alcoholically spicy. Finish: Medium length Spicy, woody and dry. Alcoholically spicy. 85 points
Review by hugo148
Wood and citrus on the nose, with strong pepper notes. A little too alcoholic for me. On the palate I find more or less the same markers, lemon zest with an overly pronounced bitterness and a not-so-unpleasant spiciness. I'm rather disappointed by this 2011: it lacks balance and the alcohol is poorly integrated. The length on the palate is also too short. It's good but it doesn't break 3 legs on a duck 😁
