    How does this rum taste?

    The 1991 Guadeloupe rum from Damoiseau distillery is an 18-year-aged agricole rum distilled from sugarcane juice, showcasing complex notes of wood, leather, and dark fruits. Its aromatic profile features vanilla and dried fruits while the taste carries hints of licorice and cherry, embraced by a smooth, hearty body. With an alcohol content of 54.4%, it leaves a long-lasting, slightly bitter finish accompanied by spices. Users appreciate its dark, full-bodied characteristics, making it a treasured selection for rum aficionados. The integration of vintage elements with an elegant, powerful nose makes it stand out among agricultural rums, providing an experience redolent of roasted oak and subtle fruit nuances.

    Magnificent on the nose, magnificent on the palate, in the end all that was missing was a slightly more successful finish to take it a step further. But if you like notes of coffee, chocolate and wood, go for it!

    Un superbe Damoiseau qui montre que la distillerie est capable de faire de grandes choses. Le nez fait preuve d’une certaine puissance et d’une grande élégance sur des notes lourdes de fruits (raisin, fruit rouge sur la groseille et la cerise) et des épices chaleureuses (piment, muscade, pomme au four, réglisse, vanille, poivre). Viennent par la suite du chêne, du cuir, du chocolat noir, du tabac et du café style espresso. Un profil olfactif sombre et raffiné comme on en voit peu aux Antilles françaises. L’attaque en bouche se veut intense, épaisse et profonde. Le fruité est lourd, sur le pruneau, le raisin et la mûre. Les notes sombres sur le cuir, le chocolat noir, le café, le tabac se mêlent aux épices (vanille, reglisse, piment) pour un ensemble rond et cohérent. On ressent aussi le goût de la canne à sucre et de la mélasse. L’alcool est superbement bien intégré. La finale est très longue, sèche et esthétique. On retrouve ce fruité lourd et sec, le côté sombre avec la mélasse et la canne à sucre, des herbes aromatiques, le chêne rôti, du cacao et des épices (cannelle, réglisse). L’empreinte laissée en bouche est très agréable. Un superbe représentant de sa distillerie, qui était disponible à un prix très correct à sa sortie.

    Really heavy nose with dark fruit - cherry in particular stands out. Toasty, slightly bitter, yet fruity. Great mouthfeel with a pleasant, natural sweetness. I really like it!
