Second tasting: the nose is the hammer, very similar to the '95! On the palate then a dream, incredibly creamy and the alcohol excellently integrated, there is the '95 much sharper (+1). In the nose first resin and cough syrup, very complex! Palate: surprisingly mild, excellent integrated alcohol, strong spicy and again very complex. The medicinal notes are in the foreground. Aftertaste: the rum fades very slowly. The medicinal and grassy notes prevail. The medicinal character dominates the rum and makes it something special, top!
Kräftiger, gereifter Guadeloupe-Rum mit intensiver Aromatik. In der Nase dunkle Früchte, Vanille, Holz und eine Spur Tabak. Am Gaumen vollmundig mit Noten von Trockenfrucht, Gewürz und leichtem Kaffee, begleitet von einer eleganten Süße. Die 60 % bringen Druck, sind aber hervorragend eingebunden. Der Abgang ist lang, würzig und trocken mit feiner Bitterkeit. Ein eindrucksvoller, komplexer Damoiseau, der Tiefe und Reife perfekt vereint.
A treat
Exceptional rum - same level as the Velier Damoiseau 1980 - fantastic
