The La Favorite 1992 Cuvee Special de la Flibuste is a remarkable rum produced in Martinique by the revered La Favorite Distillery. Distilled from sugar cane juice using a Column Still, this limited edition rum, with an ABV of 40%, is a testament to the traditional Martinique rum-making methods. The rum spent 25 years aging in oak casks that were previously used for Cognac, which imparts delicate tannins and a unique aromatic bouquet. Bottled in a stunning decanter-style bottle, it is designed to protect the deep black rum from external light, ensuring its exquisite flavors are preserved.
On the nose, La Flibuste 1992 offers a rich and concentrated profile with captivating aromas of licorice, cocoa, pepper, dried fruits, citrus, sweet spices, precious wood, and a hint of menthol. The palate continues this complexity, displaying the hallmark "rhum agricole" style with dominant notes of pepper and licorice, balanced by a light sweetness and a refreshing finish.
The finish is long and expressive, with a slow-decaying intensity that lingers on the palate, dominated by licorice, woody notes, and spices. This rum is a true gem in the world of rums, perfect as a liquid dessert or a delightful indulgence. The use of ex-Cognac barrels adds a layer of complexity and depth, making it a must-try for rum enthusiasts.
