The Damoiseau 2007 Rhum Vieux Agricole is a unique and exceptional vintage rum, first distilled in 2007 and aged for 10 years in 220-liter ex-bourbon American oak barrels at the esteemed Damoiseau Distillery in Guadeloupe. This remarkable rum is crafted from sugar-cane harvested in a year that benefited from optimal sunshine, allowing the creation of a truly extraordinary vintage. This agricultural rum boasts a complexity and depth that will captivate any rum enthusiast.
Upon first nosing, this rum offers a complex bouquet of aromas, including the minerality of coal, the sweetness of stone fruits, and the spiciness of dried peppers. The well-toasted oak barrels impart a dry sherry cask character with dark, gripping tannins. In the background, a grainy agricultural note emerges, reminiscent of a freshly sharpened pencil with its lead and shavings.
On the palate, the Damoiseau 2007 is full-bodied and round, with a rich and velvety texture. The fruit and spice notes from the nose are present but much rounder and softer. After a lively dance on the tongue, they reveal delicate floral and herbal notes that add to the rum's complexity and depth.
Overall, this rum is truly exceptional, offering a unique and intriguing flavor profile. Its balance, depth, and complexity make it a must-try for any serious rum enthusiast.
This rum is distilled at the Damoiseau Distillery in Guadeloupe, a region renowned for its production of high-quality agricultural rums.
The Damoiseau 2007 Rhum Vieux Agricole is aged for 10 years in 220-liter ex-bourbon American oak barrels.
This rum has an ABV of 42%.
The aromas include woody notes, pear, cinnamon, and rose, with hints of sandalwood. The palate features spicy and peppery notes, tobacco, licorice, vanilla, dried fruit, and earthy undertones.
The finish is lingering, echoing peppery and spicy notes alongside hints of vanilla, a touch of vegetal character, and a dry sensation.
Reviewers noted a beautiful nose with subtle floral and fruity notes, balanced with some woody and herbal touches. However, some found the palate to be unexpectedly dry and slightly astringent, with hints of tobacco and earth that overshadowed the initial sweetness and balance. Despite its appealing nose, the rum was described as lacking the richness and intensity one might expect from a 10-year maturation. Overall, while it has its admirers, some found it somewhat disappointing in terms of depth and character.
