Velier Damoiseau 1991
Sip this one neat and give it time — 15 minutes in the glass and the nose opens into cherry, orange, wood and honey. It's an old Damoiseau agricole at cask strength, but the 56.3% sits quietly: burnt caramel, dark cherry, leather and milk chocolate, all balanced against the cask. One taster puts it near the legendary 1980. The finish runs long for most, though a couple note it fades faster than expected.
The community says- Cherry-wood balance
- Complex, layered

How does Velier Damoiseau 1991 taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Old cask-strength Damoiseau, fruit meets dark wood The tasters who've had it rate it near-perfect — a complex, well-balanced old agricole. Only real quibble: one or two find the finish shorter than the depth promises.

Review by Daniel_SVK
Absolute perfection.
Review by Righrum
I didn't expect to find a rum so close to the perfection of damoiseau 1980, but this 1991 selected by Velier is really close and might be even better. Typical old Damoiseau, wood and citrus on the nose and a great complexity drink side
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
If you like Bellevue then this is one of the really good ones. Price to quality was great at release. The nose is intense and fruity with wood, cinnamon, honey and herbal notes after resting for more than 15 minutes. The palate is both intense, complex and well balanced with fruit, honey and leather with light candied, chocolate and herbal notes. The finish is extremely long with dried fruit, wood, leather, honey and herbal notes. Leave the empty glass for a few hours and whiff it again to get the full experience.
Review by Gianca Zil
Bevuto per la seconda volta … al naso non mi conquista del tutto la nota di cane bagnato, pelle… anche se la caramella mou alla liquirizia 😍😍. Al palato invece lo trovo molto più gradevole e accattivante con un finale bello lungo..
