The La Maison du Rhum de Guadeloupe Wooden Box 2009 8yo 42% 700ml is an exquisite rum with a rich and alluring aroma and flavor profile. On the nose, it opens with the captivating scent of fresh exotic fruits such as papaya, guava, and melon. As the rum is exposed to the air, these fruit notes evolve to include subtle nuances of light nuts and vanilla. The oak presence is light and slightly resinous, yet matures into indulgent notes of dried banana, fresh tobacco, yeast, black tea, and a hint of orange zest with time. The palate offers an equally satisfying experience, beginning with a sweet marmalade of citrus fruits and crystallized ginger. The mid-palate is smooth and mellow, showcasing flavors of waxed oak and dried fruits. This vintage was distilled in a Creole column in 2009 and aged for 8 years in new American oak barrels. It was produced by the Bellevue distillery, located in Grande Terre, the northeastern part of the island renowned for producing the Damoiseau brand. The rum's complex and well-balanced flavors have been favorably compared to those of a renowned distillery in Marie-Galante. The finish is long and smooth, leaving lingering notes of fresh tobacco, yeast, and black tea. This rum is a true delight for connoisseurs and a must-try for any collector. With a limited release of only 2875 bottles, this 700 ml bottle of La Maison du Rhum de Guadeloupe is a special addition to any collection, boasting an ABV of 42%. The rum comes encased in a beautifully crafted wooden box, making it an ideal gift or a prized possession for any rum enthusiast.

Unfortunately, this rum did not leave a lasting impression for some reviewers. While it is recognized as a rum and considered better than some spiced alternatives, one review noted that it lacked a significant aroma and described the palate as having hints of watery lemon and faint wood. The experience was described as fleeting, with the aftertaste disappearing quickly.
