„The most amazing thing about this rum is how well they have integrated the ABV. You barely feel the ABV at all, wonder how they managed to do that :-) The nose is nice with fruit, oak and vanilla trailed by caramel, honey and nuts. I also get a very light note of grass. The palate extremely well balanced and complex. A very full bodied rum indeed. Fruit, oak and vanilla take the front trailed by caramel and honey. The finish is very long and intense with charred oak, spices, tobacco and dried fruit. A truly magnificent rum.“

„You will smell a lot of lovely notes of leather, banana, pineapple, prunes, prunes… all of them you‘ll find in the mouth too. The alcohol and also the wood is integrated very well! The finish is long, dry with a dominant taste o mocha.. lie behind and enjoy! Update: After ca. 30 minutes of rest the rum open up completely. A bit more smell of the barrel, honey, cedar wood. It mouth there is less spice and more fruity/floral. There are so many different tastes 😍 Amazing experience. Unfortunately it’s to expensive now…“

„Véritable légende parmi les rhums de Guadeloupe, ce Damoiseau embouteillé par Velier est une œuvre d’art. On tombe sur un nez démentiel qui exprime toute la complexité du jus. Le boisé se veut très noble, en accompagnement d’une farandole d’épices (vanille, muscade, cannelle, poivre, gingembre, réglisse) et des notes sombres très raffinées (chocolat noir, cacao, café, cuir, amande, tabac, notes rôties). Les fruits ne sont pas en reste : ananas, fruit de la passion, cassis, baies sauvages, fruits rouges, raisin sec et pruneau se relaient dans un profil lourd, complexe mais extrêmement élégant et rond. Le nez est bluffant, car il exulte la fraîcheur du menthol, de l’eucalyptus et des herbes aromatiques, mais il capte également toute la gourmandise de la canne à sucre, du caramel, du nougat, du toffee et du sucre brun. Un profil d’anthologie. En bouche, on retrouve un rhum lourd, complexe, qui tire sur le vieux cuir tanné, les notes sombres de cacao et de chocolat noir, de café et d’amande amère, rejointes par le tabac et le cigare. Les épices, toujours aussi abondantes, apportent de la vivacité au profil. Le boisé, très raffiné, est très bien fondu. Si on perd pas mal de notes fruitées, les fruits secs, raisin et pruneau en tête, continuent de sublimer le palais de leur délicatesse et de leur gourmandise. Des notes d’herbes aromatiques sur le thé noir et le menthol confèrent un peu de fraîcheur. L’alcool est intégré à la perfection. Un profil extrêmement varié, très riche et élégant qui ne peut que ravir les fans de rhum. La finale, extraordinaire de par sa longueur et sa finesse, est particulièrement intense, légèrement amère mais très délicate. Les saveurs en bouche collent au palais et laissent une trame sombre prospérer, à la fois sur le bois précieux, le chocolat noir, le café, le cuir, les fruits secs, les épices et des touches mielleuses de caramel qui se mêlent aux arômes plus floraux sur le thé noir et les herbes. Un rhum de prestige absolument divin, qui peut se considérer comme le nectar des Dieux de par sa profondeur, sa complexité et sa nature si distinguée.“

„An der Nase tolle Noten von getrockneten Früchten, Dörroflaume, hin zu würzig-holzigen Noten. Gepaart mit Honig, Vanille und einer rauchigen Note. Am Gaumen auch extraklasse. Hier noch stärker in Richtung Gewürze, Leder, Vanille und Lakritze. Ein echtes Highlight. Leider extrem rar und extrem teuer - Schade!“

„Un icona del rum! Appena lo assaggi è davvero un concentrato di sapori e di intensità! Si fonde tutto perfettamente tra note di frutti secchi, caffè, legno e quel sentore di pelle molto piacevole. Un finale gustoso e infinito! Un rum davvero straordinario!“

„Whaou, quelle complexité, quel boisé, quelle astringence !! Un rhum marqué par le fût, extrêmement complexe, avec un gros gros boisé, qui s'accompagne de très belles notes fruités et des épices caractéristiques de la maison. Un rhum pour les grandes occasions.“

„Amazing nose with an impressive balance between sweetness and dark notes from the barrel. Mouth is still very good and well balanced but more funky and fruity. An excellent rum overall 👍“
