La Favorite - Jardin Créole - Ylang-Ylang - Artisanal Arranged - 35% | Clos des Spiritueux
Discover the excellence of artisanal arranged rum with La Favorite Jardin Créole Ylang-Ylang, offered by Clos des Spiritueux. A true Caribbean gem, this spirit results from the ancestral know-how of one of the last family-owned and independent distilleries in Martinique. Located near Fort-de-France, La Favorite draws the essence of its quality from the cultivation of sugar cane on exceptional volcanic soils, bathed by the trade winds. Distilled in a Creole column still, powered by an authentic steam engine, each batch reflects a constant pursuit of authenticity, innovation, and precision. The Jardin Créole collection embodies this ambition by marrying Martinican agricultural rum with the exquisite aromas of fruits, flowers, and spices from the Caribbean terroir. The recipes, developed in micro-batches, benefit from a rigorous selection of raw materials and a perfectly controlled maceration time, thus offering rich, natural, and complex aromas. With the Ylang-Ylang version, La Favorite explores the most floral and delicate facet of its universe, offering every enthusiast a true sensory journey to the heart of the tropics.
The Jardin Créole Ylang-Ylang from La Favorite stands out by its meticulous production from a highly pure white agricultural rum, made from freshly pressed cane juice on site. On this vegetal base, superb ylang-ylang flowers, picked at perfect maturity and renowned for their smooth, sunny, and sensual notes that immediately evoke the sweetness of the islands, are infused. The slow and monitored maceration extracts the best of the floral aromas, ensuring an ideal balance between intensity and delicacy. The subtle addition of pure cane sugar supports the bouquet without excess sweetness, maintaining a refined, digestible, and gourmet profile. The final blend benefits from a resting period, allowing the flavors to harmoniously meld before being bottled at 35%. This perfectly measured strength guarantees a balanced tasting, where floral freshness meets the generosity of agricultural rum in a enveloping and elegant texture.
On tasting, the Jardin Créole Ylang-Ylang Arranged immediately captivates with its crystalline and slightly golden robe, reflecting the richness of its natural ingredients. The nose, intensely expressive, reveals powerful aromas of white flowers, ylang-ylang, jasmine, and a delicate note of vanilla, on a bed of fresh cane and brown sugar. On the palate, the attack is smooth and the texture silky; the aromatic profile oscillates between essential oil notes and tropical scents, reminiscent of the atmosphere of a Creole garden at dusk. The balance between the liveliness of the agricultural rum and the floral sweetness is enhanced by the light structure of the cane sugar. The finish, persistent and elegant, extends the tasting with notes of white flowers, light honey, and luscious cane. Served chilled or on ice, this arranged rum wonderfully enhances exotic desserts, tropical fruit salads, pineapple-coconut tarts, or simple vanilla cakes. Also ideal for mixology, it integrates perfectly into floral cocktails based on lemon juice, tonic, or prosecco.
