Dugas Damoiseau La Maison du Rhum 2009
Fresh sugar cane juice and citrus lead the nose, with light wood and a touch of exotic fruit — papaya, guava — that opens up as it airs. A cane-juice Guadeloupe from Damoiseau, but at 8 years and 42% several tasters find it thin and watery, oddly sweet, with the alcohol sticking out. Promising start, quiet middle.
The community says- Fresh cane nose
- Bright citrus

How does Dugas Damoiseau La Maison du Rhum 2009 taste?
Aggregated from 14 community reviews.
Citrusy cane rum that fades thin and quick Opinions land around lukewarm: a nice citrus-and-cane nose that fades fast on a thin, slightly bitter palate. Most feel it was diluted a step too far.

Review by LukaŽiga
7,4:On the nose it opens with fresh sugar cane juice and exotic fruits like papaya, guava or even melon. These fruits will ripen as the rum is aired, letting in light nuts and vanilla. The woodiness is also light, a little waxy and resinous. Aeration brings out gourmet and mature face with dried banana, fresh tobacco, yeast, even black tea and some perfumed notes. The woodiness is melted and slightly toasted, the spices are sweet-pepper and the orange peel, become caramelized, while cognac notes complete the picture on the nose. 7,2:On the palate it is rich, quite seductive. The citrus fruits begin their freshness, present themselves as a sweet marmalade with candied ginger shards. There is less sugar cane as on the nose. The mid-palate is very soft, the intensity goes down, but the aromas of waxy wood and dried fruits are really tasty.After rest, it is a bit iodized, bitter... 7,4:The finish is with sugar cane, woody, dry, with fresh tobacco, fruity, yeast and black tea, round and mellow...
Review by Timo Groeger
Und von Reunion geht es zurück in die Karibik :) Relativ fruchtig in der Nase, vor allem Zitrusfrüchte haben wir hier, außerdem leichte Holznuancen. Am Gaumen dann relativ würzig, aber auch leicht bitter und etwas holzig
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Tolle Nase nach Himbeeren, Zitrusfrüchten und diversen Back Aromatisch dann leider sehr dünn und verwässert, auch ungewöhnlich süß und eher etwas eindimensional. Gleichzeitig könnte der Alkohol besser integriert sein. Mal wieder ein Beispiel für misslungene Verdünnung eines potentiell guten Rums.
Review by Fuwi
Puh. Also zunächst 2 positive Punkte: 1. Es ist anscheinend Rum 2. Er schmeckt besser als Remedy Spiced Danach wird's wirklich eng. Da kommt überhaupt nichts. Die Nase ist faktisch nicht vorhanden, auf der Zunge kommt wässrige Zitrone und mit viel Phantasie ein wenig Fass. Nach dem Schlucken ist es 3 Sekunden später auch so, als ob man ihn nie probiert hätte.
Review by Johannes
Etwas zu alkoholisch und zu jung, aber wenn man es weiß, kann man schon Damoiseau rausschmecken.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Hinterlässt leider keinen bleibenden Eindruck. Saft- und kraftlos. Schade.
