„Rhum classique de gamme permanente, ce VO de chez Damoiseau débuté sur des notes douces caramélisées, les fruits secs, les épices douces (vanille, muscade) et un boisé assez jeune. La fraîcheur agricole vient après aération dans le verre. On retrouve en bouche un rhum qui part dans tous les sens : tantôt vers les fruits secs, tantôt herbacé et terreux, puis sur les notes rôties et toastées, avant d’enchaîner sur le boisé épicée et enfin l’amertume agricole de la canne à sucre. La texture est à la fois douce et sirupeuse. La faible teneur en alcool (40%) laisse au palais cette impression de légèreté, à la fois clair mais un peu insipide. En finale, un profil sec sur le chêne, le poivre et le café se dessine, avec quelques notes de noix de coco, de l’herbe et des tannins. Sans être un mauvais rhum, ce Damoiseau manque de longueur, de profondeur, d’impact et de cohérence dans les arômes, qui partent dans tous le sens, pour être un VO compétitif par rapport à d’autres cuvées qui sont mieux positionnées.“

„Die Nase ist relativ verhalten… neben leichten Karamell- und Zitrusnoten überwiegt der Alkohol. Am Gaumen zunächst dunkle Schokolade, dann unangenehm pfeffrige Nuancen und wieder Alkohol! Der Abgang ist leicht holzig und schokoladig“

„Sample no.22 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. Very funky and earthy on the nose. Same on the palate, very ”agricoly” notes of grass and spices. Not my cup of tea.“

„I did not like the 👃 to be honest. But on the 👅 the taste is much milder, more balanced. It is kind of sweet, you can taste the wood, vanilla, hint of spiciness. Not bad at all. Reminds me of a home made liquor but in a good way. Finish is medium to long one.“
