La Favorite La Flibuste 1994
People who chase dark, dessert-like sippers will get the most out of this one. It's a 25-year Martinique agricole that drinks nothing like grassy rhum — think stewed prunes, plum jam, vanilla and candied fruit, with a syrupy, oily body. Long, spiced finish. At 40% it's soft, and a few tasters found it edges toward "prune syrup" more than a bold rum.
The community says- Deep prune-plum flavor
- Very long finish
- Very sweet

How does La Favorite La Flibuste 1994 taste?
Aggregated from 33 community reviews.
Rich, syrupy prune-and-vanilla old agricole Loved for its rich prune-and-vanilla depth and very long finish. Most call it delicious, though several find this vintage too sweet and soft — closer to a fruit syrup than a powerful rum.

A madness in taste!!!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Compared to the previous one we just tried this one kicks it up a notch. The nose is fruity with a nice mix of spices and some barrel in the back. The palate is balanced and complex. Slightly sweet with fruits and spices. Lightly peppery with some barrel. The finish is long and intense, lightly sweet with some barrel and vanilla.

Fidèle au style Flibuste. Millésime très gourmand.
Review by Harald
Farbe: Umbra Geruch: Mild, süß und leicht fruchtig nach Rosinen und Pflaumenmus. Ein Hauch Kaffee und Kakao. Geschmack: Mild und süß im Mund. Beim Schlucken immer noch süß, dann würzig, schwer und ölig. Pflaume und komplexe Gewürzaromen (Kümmel, Anis, Zimt, Pfeffer, Kardamom und Nelken). Abgang: Mittellang Würzig aber immer noch mild und süß. Komplexe Gewürzaromen, vor allem Zimt. 90 Punkte
Review by Mathieu Bgd
Une flibuste dans la lignée de ces prédécesseurs. Un vrai régal, la finale en bouche est très douce modéré et en même temps presque longue. La vanille est omniprésente. Les fruits confits et la prune font surface. De plus le pruneau était présent en première bouche puis finalement laisse place à un sirop d’une très grande douceur.
Review by jonathan.p🇫🇷
A mahogany color and a nose of prunes, candied fruit, wood and vanilla..... makes you salivate! In the shower, you're immediately reminded of prunes, which are sweet and candied. The finish is long .... Very long! With prunes and wood. To sum up, it's really very good, even if I'd have preferred something a little more powerful and less sweet, frankly, it's worth the detour. Especially for the taste that lingers on the palate!

Très gourmand ! Je ne suis pas un expert mais je comprend enfin pourquoi on désire tant cette flibuste,
Review by Oliver
Complex and intense on the nose. Then concentrated plum juice on the palate. Extreme. Syrupy.
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Très bien, sans prendre la claque que j’espérais.
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Première flibuste pour moi et je dois avouer ma déception après en avoir peut être trop attendu… On a plus l’impression d’avoir un rhum arrangé en bouche qu’un vrai rhum de dégustation, je trouve qu’à ce prix c’est vraiment très très cher ! Alors ce n’est pas mauvais loin de là mais l’expression « jus de pruneau » n’est pas loin de la réalité. Incompréhension sur l’engouement autour de cette série « mythique ».
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
mir persönlich viel zu süß. das Gerücht das hier Backpflaumen mit beigesetzt wurden bei der Fassreifung würde ich unterschreiben. als würde man Sirup aus Backpflaumen machen, sehr cremig & süß.
