    "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!"

    "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 Ă©lĂ©gance sur des notes lourdes de fruits (raisin, fruit rouge sur la groseille et la cerise) et des Ă©pices chaleureuses (piment, muscade, pomme au four, rĂ©glisse, vanille, poivre). Viennent par la suite du chĂȘne, du cuir, du chocolat noir, du tabac et du cafĂ© style espresso. Un profil olfactif sombre et raffinĂ© comme on en voit peu aux Antilles françaises. L’attaque en bouche se veut intense, Ă©paisse et profonde. Le fruitĂ© est lourd, sur le pruneau, le raisin et la mĂ»re. Les notes sombres sur le cuir, le chocolat noir, le cafĂ©, le tabac se mĂȘlent aux Ă©pices (vanille, reglisse, piment) pour un ensemble rond et cohĂ©rent. On ressent aussi le goĂ»t de la canne Ă  sucre et de la mĂ©lasse. L’alcool est superbement bien intĂ©grĂ©. La finale est trĂšs longue, sĂšche et esthĂ©tique. On retrouve ce fruitĂ© lourd et sec, le cĂŽtĂ© sombre avec la mĂ©lasse et la canne Ă  sucre, des herbes aromatiques, le chĂȘne rĂŽti, du cacao et des Ă©pices (cannelle, rĂ©glisse). L’empreinte laissĂ©e en bouche est trĂšs agrĂ©able. Un superbe reprĂ©sentant de sa distillerie, qui Ă©tait disponible Ă  un prix trĂšs correct Ă  sa sortie."

    "This one is not as potent as its predecessor, but still pretty good. The nose is woody with fruits and candied vanilla. Trailing behind i find licorice and some vegetal and earthy notes. The palate is full bodied with wood and fruit followed by molasses, vanilla and licorice. I also find some vegetal and medicinal notes. The finish is medium to long with wood and dried fruit trailed by vanilla and licorice."

    "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!"
