The La Favorite 1988 Cuvee Special de la Flibuste is a remarkable rum with a strength of 40% that is the result of a careful blend of old rums, meticulously selected and aged for nearly three decades in oak casks. This extended aging gives the cuvee a unique aromatic bouquet, while the previous use of the casks for Cognac provides delicate tannins.
On the nose, this rum offers a rich and concentrated profile with a variety of aromas including licorice, cocoa, pepper, candied fruits, citrus, sweet spices, precious wood, and a hint of mint. This is a decadent, full-bodied, and complex nose that invites further tasting.
In the mouth, the palate is treated to a highly concentrated profile that reveals the "pure cane juice rum" character more than on the nose. Pepper and licorice take the lead, while a subtle sweetness and refreshing quality mark the palate.
The finish is long-lasting and expressive, with a declining intensity that lingers for a good while. Licorice remains prominent, accompanied by woody notes and spices, including pepper.
The Cuvee Speciale de la Flibuste is presented in a beautiful bottle assembled by the cellar master of the distillery. Its black color also protects the bottle from external light. This rum is a true treasure for any rum connoisseur.
The alcohol by volume (ABV) is 40%.
This rum is produced by La Favorite Distillery in Martinique.
A limited number of 6,000 bottles were produced.

This rum has received high praise for its sweet, woody, and fruity profile from nose to finish. Reviewers highlight a perfect balance and complex aroma, noting hints of honey, red fruits, plums, wood, and vanilla on the nose. On the palate, similar flavors are enhanced with floral, lightly spiced, and toasted notes. The long and full-bodied finish features a slightly earthy and moldy aftertaste. Some reviewers expected a more pronounced woodiness but appreciated the overall roundness and unique aroma of the rum.
