The La Favorite Privilege Pour Lulu Edition 2020 Martinique is a remarkable rum that showcases the best of the distillery. The presentation of this product is striking, with its unique ribbed bottle and golden wax seal. Inside, the bottle holds a blend of five vintage rums, each aged for ten to twenty years in oak casks. This gives the rum an exceptional average age and a dark color, reflecting its extended maturation period. The lower alcohol content makes it ideal for savoring neat.
This edition is a tribute to Lucienne Dormoy, fondly known as Lulu, who, along with her husband Andre, managed the distillery for nearly half a century. Released in celebration of her 100th birthday, the blend includes rums from the years 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, and 2010. The rum's aroma and flavor are complex and elegant, with dominant notes of candied and tropical fruits, such as bananas, along with hints of cigar box, oak, tobacco, mocha, and spices.
Rums from Guadeloupe and Martinique, like this one, are distinct from commercial products due to their classification as Rhum Agricole. Unlike most rums, which are made from molasses, a byproduct of sugar processing, Rhum Agricole is distilled directly from fermented sugarcane juice. This method is less common and gives the La Favorite Rhum Agricole Vieux Privilege Pour Lulu a unique profile worth appreciating.
This particular cuvee, Privilege pour Lulu, was created in 2018 and is a blend of rums aged for 10 to 20 years in oak barrels from the family distillery. Five specific vintages were selected to create a wide, structured, and refined aromatic palette: 2008, 2002, 2001, 2000, and 1998. A second batch of this blend was aged for an additional 18 months in a foudre before bottling at the end of 2020.
The ABV of this rum is 41.3%.
A total of 3600 bottles were produced.
The bottle size is 700 ml.
This rum is classified as Rhum Agricole, distilled from fermented sugarcane juice.
The key notes include candied and tropical fruits, cigar box, oak, tobacco, mocha, and spices.
Reviewers find La Favorite Privilege Pour Lulu Edition 2020 to be a phenomenally well-crafted Agricole rum with deep, mature notes without being overly woody. Its aroma is inviting with notes of pastries, spices, and aged fruits. While some find the alcohol content a bit low, leading to a slightly less intense palate experience, the overall balance and complexity make it a noteworthy release. The rum evokes memories of Christmas bakery and aged wine, offering a delightful and rounded tasting experience.
