The La Favorite 2011 Selection de Futs Rhum Agricole Vieux Hors d'Age is an exceptional rum that embodies the rich traditions of Martinique's rum craftsmanship. Distilled in 2011 from freshly fermented sugarcane juice, this Rhum Agricole has been aged for eight years in hand-selected French oak casks, which previously held Cognac and Bourbon. Bottled in 2019, this limited edition release consists of only 5,800 bottles, each individually marked with a wax seal, ensuring its exclusivity.
This rum's aging process in French oak casks imparts a remarkable depth of flavor and complexity, culminating in an elegant and vintage-style product. The higher alcohol content of 49.7% ABV allows the full character of the rum to shine through, making it a favorite among connoisseurs and spirits enthusiasts.
Rhum Agricole, a style of rum made directly from sugarcane juice, distinguishes itself from the more common molasses-based rums. Traditionally produced in regions like the French Antilles, Rhum Agricole is celebrated for its intricate and assertive flavor profiles. La Favorite's 2011 vintage is a prime example of this style, offering a rich mahogany color and a full-bodied, well-structured flavor profile.
The La Favorite 2011 Selection de Futs delivers notes of candied fruit, warm spices, and a hint of sweetness, all beautifully balanced by the oak influence from its aging. The result is a complex and elegant rum with a long, satisfying finish. Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to unlock its full array of flavors, this rum promises a unique and memorable tasting experience.
La Favorite Distillery, renowned for its commitment to quality and tradition, has once again showcased its expertise through this release. The combination of aromatic intensity and smooth tannins speaks volumes about the meticulous craftsmanship involved in its production. With this selection, La Favorite offers the best of its eight years of aging, presenting a powerful yet well-rounded rum.
