How does this rum taste?
Most love its deep leather‑tobacco profile, complex nose and long warm finish. A few find the finish slightly flat, but consensus calls it a world‑class old Damoiseau.
If you enjoy complex, dry agricoles like old Damoiseau or Courcelles 1970s bottlings, this turns the intensity up with more leather and tobacco while staying beautifully balanced.
Beginners, anyone sensitive to 58% ABV, or drinkers who dislike solvent/varnish nuances, grassy agricoles, or dry, non‑sweet profiles.

Another Damoiseau that you could smell for hours! Maggi spice, nutmeg, dried fruit, tobacco, vanilla. Spices, dried fruit, tobacco on the palate. Mocha, barrel and a pleasant, almost chocolaty sweetness on the finish. From memory, I would say that it can (almost) keep up with the high-flyer Damoiseau 1980. Many thanks to Vienna for the sample!
Super Nase. Vanille, Karamell, getrocknete Früchte. Darüber schweben schöne Lösungsmittel- und Lacknoten. Erdig, frisch (Artischoke?). Sehr komplex, allein länger daran zu riechen erfreut das Herz. Sehr komplex und würzig im Mund. Ein wirklich toller Rum. So schön können Lösungsmittel- und Lacknoten sein.🤪 Schade, dass er so selten ist.
This is a really goog Damoiseau and I like what Velier has done to it. The nose is intense with fruit, wood, trailed by honey, leather and earthy notes. The palate is equally intense yet balanced with wood, fruit and honey closely trailed by leather, chocolate and light coffee and tobacco. The finish is long and warm with wood, fruits and some chocolate.
Outstanding Damoiseau. Finish unfortunately a little flat.
