Damoiseau L'Experience 69 2017
"Needs to rest for a good while for the ABV to settle," as one taster put it — and that's the story here. This white Guadeloupe agricole is a fresh, grassy, floral bomb with sugarcane and a hint of cherry, but at 69% the alcohol muscles in hard. Give it air and it opens up; rush it and the burn dominates.
The community says- Fresh grassy nose
- Cherry and sugarcane
- Very alcoholic

How does Damoiseau L'Experience 69 2017 taste?
Aggregated from 31 community reviews.
Fresh grassy agricole, but very hot at 69% Ratings land mid-pack. People like the fresh grassy, cherry-tinged profile, but nearly everyone says the raw alcohol overshadows it — let it breathe or mix it long.

Rhum avec du poivré une belle sucrosité, de la cerise (voir noyau de cerise) et de la mangue.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5138 21.02.2025 Battle of the white evening. Nose Fresh, medium intense, sugarcane, light citrus, light vegetal, light nutts light mineral. Palate Oily, fresh, round, medium intense, light citrus, light spice, light grass, light nutts, faint pineapple, sugarcane. Finish Medium to long, oily, light grass, nutts, light citrus, sugarcane. Empty glass Sugarcane, spice, light herbal, faint floral, light citrus. Needs to rest for a good while for the ABV to settle properly and all the flavours to be released.

La Route des Rhums Adventdkalender 2023 No. 21. Hier jetzt ein weißer Agricole von Damoiseau. Typisch Agricole, hat eine fruchtig, florale und frische Nase. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls, nur finde ich die 69% sind etwas zuviel, er kommt zu alkoholisch rüber.
Review by Righrum
The perception of alcohol harms the drinking experience. Very similar to other ~70° rums in terms of nose and drinking experience, yet the alcohol spoils the experience
Review by Gd Flo
Le nez est agréable. En bouche c’est frais, puissant et poivré. Ça envoi fort avec une finale à la hauteur de la bouche. Un rhum à ne pas mettre tout de même entre toutes les mains.
Review by Pascal Gwada
Décidément Damoiseau et moi ne sommes pas copains... Seule bouteille de Damoiseau dans ma grande collection, je me suis laissé tenté par le "genre brut de colonne", mais le résultat n'y est pas. Xperience 69, à garder pour les jeux érotiques? même pas trop... + Sérieusement, beaucoup trop alcoolique dès le départ au nez, il faut le laisser s'oxygéner bien 5-10 min pour qu'il devienne plus attrayant. Goûté sur ma bouteille puis, après près d'une année, en aveugle dans l'avent 2023: bof... Le nez est assez absent à part en enols. La bouche se rattrape avec une bonne sucrosité et une texture un peu grasse. Ça chauffe de façon sympathique, mais l'amertume finale est moins agréable. Ces désagréments sont moins présents sur un verre longuement reposé.. Les fruits rouges peuvent se retrouver mais trop discrets pour rattraper.
Review by Matej
To be honest I am not a big fan of these white unaged rums, but…. Aroma is one big fresh, floral, grassy bomb with lot of cherry (or some other sour fruit). Aroma itself would be great, unfortunately, the overall impression is spoiled by the strong smell of alcohol. Taste is sweet (sugarcane?), I again noticed sour fruit but there is strong, but at the same time, very gentle bitterness of pomelo fruit, grass and floral notes. Finish i quite long, warm with sour and alcohol flavors. High ABV white rums aren't all that appealing, at least for me. In this case, I would enjoy this rum much more in some summer drink. Not a big fan.
