The Damoiseau Rhum Vieux Agricole Guadeloupe 5yo 42% 700ml is a distinctive and captivating rum produced by the renowned Damoiseau distillery in Guadeloupe, specifically at the Bellevue Distillery. This rum, aged for five years in 180-liter ex-bourbon casks from Kentucky, USA, offers a multifaceted nose evolving from initial hints of damp wood, rich peanuts, and creamy milk chocolate to spicier notes of speculoos, coffee, and licorice. Despite its robust nature, the rum displays intriguing nuances of medicinal and cane flavors.
Upon tasting, the rum enters gently, revealing a thick, grainy texture from the nutty notes, allowing it to coat the palate and release its herbaceous, medicinal, licorice, molasses, coffee, and resinous flavors. These flavors mingle with an agricultural profile of cane, dried fruits, and soft, integrated wood tannins.
The unique character of this rhum balances agricultural and traditional aromatic profiles, providing a delightful experience as it oscillates between the two. The finish is long and robust, leaving a strong impression of wood and dried fruits, along with lingering vegetal notes. The allure of this rum lies in its ability to transition smoothly from fresh, fruity notes of blossom honey, maple syrup, white pepper, and fragrant lemongrass to more robust and complex flavors.
The Damoiseau Rhum Vieux Agricole Guadeloupe 5yo 42% 700ml is a must-try for any rum connoisseur, offering a unique sipping experience that combines tropical fruit, honey, and cognac notes, balanced by hints of spice and oak.

Some appreciated its fruity and slightly blending characteristics, noting its complex mix of agricole and molasses flavors. Others found it less complex compared to other Damoiseau offerings, describing it as pleasant and easy to drink but somewhat lacking in depth.
