"A classic agricultural rum, sweet (only 40%) with a good vanilla and caramel flavor on the palate. A good entry-level VO, easy to drink in cocktails or neat, it's good value for money."

"A classic rum in the permanent range, this VO from Damoiseau begins with sweet caramelized notes, dried fruit, mild spices (vanilla, nutmeg) and a fairly young woodiness. The agricultural freshness comes after aeration in the glass. On the palate, the rum goes off in all directions: sometimes towards dried fruit, sometimes herbaceous and earthy, then on toasted notes, before moving on to spicy woodiness and finally the agricultural bitterness of sugarcane. The texture is both soft and syrupy. The low alcohol content (40%) leaves the palate with an impression of lightness, at once clear and a little insipid. On the finish, a dry profile of oak, pepper and coffee emerges, with hints of coconut, grass and tannins. Without being a bad rum, this Damoiseau lacks the length, depth, impact and coherence in flavors, which go off in all directions, to be a competitive VO compared with other better-positioned cuvées."
