Damoiseau Rhum Vieux Cuvée du Millénaire 1986

    How does this rum taste?

    Elegant old-school woody-floral agricole

    Not really suitable for

    Power seekers or beginners wary of earthy, woody agricoles who expect intense fruit, high ester funk or cask-strength impact.

    Aroma

    Woody Floral Caramel Vanilla

    Taste

    Damoiseau’s best? It’s a pity that there’s so very few left out there. Nice nose, super smooth and an elegant and subtle medium long finish.

    Wow, a stroke of luck. Old bottle, cork in the rum, everything looked like a mistake. But I was able to filter the rum and the taste is spot on. Certainly on a par with the 18 brothers of these legendary 80s Damoiseaus. Again balanced, earthy, floral.

    Talking about being extremely Woody but not getting into the wood soup mess. This carries a lot of flavors like vanilla Oak and chocolate and manages to really battle itself with geranium and other floral notes to become a very herbal sweet vibrant and complex finish

    Great rum that has been ruined by the time it has been open. Yet, a great example of what Damoiseau was able to do in the past
