La Favorite Ambre

Rhum Agricole Vieux — Martinique

Reviewed October 3, 2022 (edited January 11, 2024)
3.75
3.75 out of 5 stars
This is a solid lightly aged agricole. The smell is nice. There's honey, grass, maybe a little lemon, but then some thicker notes too like cinnamon, nutmeg, even a bit of dried cherry or raspberry jam. And there's this element that I associated with aged agricole that I'm not sure how to describe. For some reason I think of it as "crumpled", almost like it was a sharp aroma that got crushed somehow into something softer. It's a powerful aroma, and has a bit of alcohol too if you really snuff it in. The taste is not quite so complex but still good. You get honey and oak and some nice spice, along with a slightly rubbery element that I also associate with aged agricole. There's also a noticeable alcohol burn. The finish is hot, spicy, and a little tangy. It's okay for sipping, if a tad hot, but makes a tasty ti punch vieux. At $40 for a liter this is one of the most affordable aged agricoles I've seen. I will likely buy this again. Note: I believe the information shown here in Distiller is incorrect. I'm putting the review here because "La Favorite Ambre" is the right name, but the photo shown is of a different bottle ("vieux" rather than "ambre"), and the category is incorrect (this is élevé sous bois, not vieux).
