RumX reviews highlight vanilla, sugarcane and pear on the nose, followed by a peppery, woody, honey-tinged palate. Great value and well integrated, though some wish for a bit more ABV.

    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members praise Subprime Cuvée for its excellent, complex nose and standout value. Expect vanilla, sugarcane and pear leading to a peppery, woody palate with a honeyed touch and hints of chocolate. Often enjoyed neat thanks to the well-integrated 47.9% ABV. Some find the palate drier or wish for a few more degrees, but with 44 reviews and a rising reputation—plus just 5100 bottles—it’s a confident choice.

    Good overall, and very good for the price.

    Beau profil gourmand avec de la vivacité, une certaine intensité et un côté pimenté. Ça lui donne une énergie qui le rend assez remarquable. Le rapport qualité prix est aussi très intéressant. Peut être le meilleur damoiseau à un tarif accessible.

    Damoiseau is my preferred gwada profile and I love this bottle because it does so much with so little. 57€, reduced, and only 7-8 years of ageing and yet you get a delicious profile chock-full of flavor with a generous length and all of it tremendously well integrated. Easy sipper gold and an unwitting brag about the incredible amount of mileage that the Damoiseau taste profile holds. No wonder their higher end stuff from yesteryear is so legendary if this modest little bottle is anything to go by.

    I am a damoiseau lover, so might be biased. Still, this is a great aged agricole rhum, excellent nose but somewhat lacking in the palate, mainly due to low abv. Can't be compared to 1995 and older Brut de Fut not having molasses at all, so a different profile yet enough consistent especially with 1995. A great value for money rum
