La Favorite 2012 46% 700ml is a distinguished release from the esteemed La Favorite distillery, located in the picturesque region of Martinique. Known for their commitment to authenticity and quality, La Favorite has partnered with the V and B chain of wine merchants to bring this exceptional rum to enthusiasts. Distilled in February 2012 and bottled in March 2018, this rum has been aged for six years, and only 500 bottles are available exclusively at V and B stores. This limited edition release boasts a clear, golden hue indicative of its young age and a complexity that intrigues both seasoned and novice rum aficionados alike.
The aroma of La Favorite 2012 is a bit firm initially, necessitating good aeration to fully unlock its bouquet. Upon opening, it reveals fine and rich aromas with a beautiful intensity, featuring notes of cherry, vanilla, gingerbread, tea, and sugarcane. On the palate, the rum exhibits a lively and fresh profile with a delightful mix of vanilla, woodiness, sweetness, dark chocolate, demerara sugar, and pastries. The finish is long and satisfying, marked by peppery, woody, dry notes and a touch of candied pastries.
Despite its relatively young age, La Favorite 2012 46% 700ml impresses with a well-integrated and balanced alcohol content, offering a refreshing taste experience. Priced at 95€, it might be considered steep for a six-year-old rum, but its limited availability and unique flavor profile make it a valuable addition to any collection. Reviewers are eagerly anticipating a more widely available official release in the future.
This rum is unique due to its limited edition release, with only 500 bottles available exclusively at V and B stores. It also boasts a complex and nuanced flavor profile achieved through a six-year aging process.
The aroma is initially vegetal with prominent notes of sugarcane, followed by fruity hints of citrus, pear, apple, and grape.
On the palate, this rum is lively and fresh with flavors of caramelized notes, grapes, lemon, almonds, and pepper, complemented by a refreshing finish with hints of mint and nuttiness.
Having tasted La Favorite 2012 46% 700ml, I can attest to its exceptional quality and complexity. This rum stands out with its rich and intense aromas that evolve beautifully with proper aeration. The flavor profile is delightfully balanced, offering a mix of sweetness, woodiness, and a hint of dark chocolate that lingers in the finish. Though it comes with a premium price tag, its limited availability and unique character make it a worthy investment for any rum enthusiast.
