The La Favorite 2019 Brut 2 Colonnes 73.2% 700ml is a limited-edition rum released by the renowned La Favorite distillery in Martinique. Crafted from the particularly rich 2019 sugarcane harvest, this unique rum is an artful blend of two equal parts distillates from separate column stills. Bottled in 2020, only 1500 bottles of this exquisite rum were produced, making it a coveted addition for rum aficionados and collectors alike.
With an impressive ABV of 73.2%, this rum is not for the faint-hearted. However, its powerful aroma is surprisingly gentle and inviting, featuring notes of fresh sugarcane, floral undertones, vegetal hints, and zesty lime. The nose is rich and complex, promising a deep and intense flavor experience.
Upon tasting, La Favorite 2019 Brut 2 Colonnes explodes with true rum character. The initial palate is potent and peppery, dominated by the pure essence of sugarcane. As the rum opens up, it reveals layers of vegetal and citrus notes, with a slight bitterness that adds depth and intrigue. The high alcohol content is evident but well-balanced, making the drinking experience both intense and enjoyable.
This rum is best enjoyed slowly, allowing it to rest and reveal its multi-faceted personality. While the initial sip might be overwhelming, patience rewards the drinker with a softened, more harmonious profile that showcases its fresh, floral Agricole characteristics. Its long, warming finish leaves a lasting impression, marked by grassy and fruity notes that linger pleasantly.
La Favorite 2019 Brut 2 Colonnes is unique due to its high-proof nature and its blend of two column still distillates from a particularly rich sugarcane harvest in 2019. Its limited production of only 1500 bottles adds to its exclusivity.
Given its high alcohol content, it's recommended to let the rum rest for a few minutes after pouring. This allows the flavors to open up and soften, providing a more balanced and enjoyable drinking experience. Sipping it slowly enhances its complex flavors and aromas.
The main flavor notes include sugarcane, citrus, vegetal undertones, and a slight bitterness with a warming finish.
La Favorite 2019 Brut 2 Colonnes is an exceptional rum that showcases the distillery's mastery in creating high-proof Agricole rums. Despite its formidable ABV, it offers a rich and complex aromatic profile, with layers of sugarcane, floral, and citrus notes. The palate is intense yet refined, making it a rewarding experience for those who appreciate robust and well-crafted rums. This limited-edition release is a true gem for connoisseurs and collectors alike.
