The La Favorite 1993 Cuvee Special de la Flibuste is an exquisite 25-year-old rum from the renowned La Favorite distillery in Martinique. Boasting an ABV of 40% and presented in a 700ml bottle, this exceptional rum is distilled from pure sugar cane juice using a Column Still. Known for its aromatic bouquet of dates, raisins, vanilla, wood, and caramelized notes, this rum is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the La Favorite brand.
Aged for 25 years in oak casks previously used for cognac, the Cuvee Special de la Flibuste develops a unique flavor profile enriched with delicate tannins. The extended aging process imparts a remarkably complex aroma, featuring a rich bouquet that includes licorice, cocoa, pepper, candied fruits, citrus, sweet spices, precious wood, and a hint of mint.
Upon tasting, the palate is treated to a highly concentrated profile with a strong presence of "rhum agricole" – a testament to its origin from pure sugar cane juice. Pepper and licorice notes take center stage, complemented by a subtle sweetness and refreshing coolness. The finish is long-lasting and expressive, with licorice and woody notes leading the way, accompanied by lingering spices, particularly pepper.
La Flibuste is presented in a beautifully designed bottle, assembled by the master blender of the distillery. Its black color protects the rum from external light, preserving its exceptional quality. This remarkable 25-year-old rum is highly praised for its natural sweetness, superb balance, and impressive price-to-quality value, making it a delightful and highly recommended choice for rum enthusiasts.
