The nose of the Damoiseau 1995 Vieux Rhum is complex and intriguing, dominated by roasted notes, pepper, vegetal hints, cinnamon, vanilla, apple, and orange peel. The high alcohol content makes its presence known, adding to the intense aromatic profile. On the palate, the rum reveals a strong oakiness with increasing bitterness, softened by a gentle peppery note. The finish is long and robust, with persistent bitterness and oakiness, complemented by notes of orange peel, coffee, and tobacco.
The 1995 vintage is distinguished by its rich and woody character, featuring flavors of bitter dark chocolate, tart plums, spicy gingerbread, and oak spice, with subtle hints of molasses and sugarcane juice.
