Review #1095; Rum #422

This rum was distilled at La Favorite distillery on the island of Martinique. This is an ongoing series from La Favorite that bottles this rum from a 4 hecatres part of their distillery that grows red cane. This cane was pressed and the juice distilled on a column still. It was bottled with no additives.

Conclusion: This is a great rum. That strong lemongrass and minerality note dominates this which is enjoyable, a bit of fruits pop in and out as does the brine. It all comes together very well and is great to sip neat and likely is killer in a Ti Punch too. This runs pretty cheap in Europe too, so I’d consider throwing it in a big order of agricole.

Final Score: 88
