The La Favorite 1994 Cuvee Special de la Flibuste Tube 26yo 40% 700ml is a remarkable rum that embodies a unique family tradition from the renowned La Favorite Distillery in Martinique. Aged for 26 years, this exquisite rum was distilled in 1994 and bottled in 2019, presenting a complex flavor profile with an ABV of 40%. The rum is known for its round and almost chocolatey flavor, featuring extremely well-integrated oak tannins and a distinctive peppery note that adds to its balance.
Initially, the rum offers a sweet and smooth experience with a velvety texture that subtly masks the oakiness. Its intricate flavor profile is reminiscent of a spiced fruit fondue, crafted with notes of red fruits, cinnamon, cardamom, and dark chocolate. As it aerates, the pure sugarcane flavor becomes more pronounced, accompanied by characteristic pepper and zesty lime notes. The chocolatey nuance returns, enveloping the fruit flavors in a cozy, comforting embrace.
The dark bottle of this rum protects the precious liquid from external light, and each bottle is sealed by hand with wax, ensuring its uniqueness and elegance. La Favorite 1994 Cuvee Special de la Flibuste is not only a unique rum but also an elegant one, with a perfect balance of flavors, making it a must-try for any rum connoisseur.
This rum stands out due to its 26-year aging process, its complex flavor profile, and the traditional hand-wax sealing from the La Favorite Distillery.
While the rum maintains its exceptional quality, some may find the packaging of the smaller bottle less impressive compared to editions from 1986 and 1988.
Overall, the La Favorite 1994 Cuvee Special de la Flibuste presents an intricate bouquet of vanilla, crème brûlée, dried banana, and spices. Its taste is characterized by a blend of spicy, vegetal, woody, and fruity notes, culminating in a finish that leaves a lasting impression of spice and warmth.
This excellent cuvee is in line with the outstanding rums from 1986 and 1988. However, the packaging of the smaller bottle has been a source of disappointment for some, despite the rum's exceptional quality.
