Damoiseau Rhum Vieux Agricole Guadeloupe 5 Ans d‘Age
Here's the twist: for an agricole, the grassy vegetal punch is mostly missing. The nose is fruity and cane-sweet, but several tasters found it fades fast into plain alcohol, with a thin, mild body. One reviewer liked exactly that, calling it almost a molasses-agricole blend. Others found it anonymous next to other Damoiseau bottles. Woody, dry, faint tropical fruit — a quiet everyday agricole.

Review by LukaŽiga
7,8:On the nose, it delivers cottony notes of wood, very fatty peanuts and milk chocolate. It opens with a spicier note of biscuits, coffee and licorice. There is some medicinal touch and a hint of sugarcane. On aeration, an agricole with dried fruits and wood, we find this damp and cottony atmosphere again.We have peanuts, damp wood, oily cane, then the fatty and melted nuts.This is when the Guadeloupean style emerges, with candied fruits, banana is the most obvious, resinous and medicinal notes, as well as molasses. 8:On the palate, the attack is very smooth. There are some nuts, then herbaceous and medicinal flavors, licorice, molasses, coffee and resin, pairing agricultural profile made of cane, dried fruits (apricot) and tannins. 7,9:The finish is long, dry, an agricole side glows, woody and with dried fruits, spicy, the sugarcane is juicy, let's put it shortly, vegetal....
Review by Tim
A young Agricole with a very fruity nose. But somehow that was it, because there are only various alcohol notes on the nose. In mouth very thin and weak. Some sweetness from the sugar cane, some fruit and brandy. Like a mild brandy.
Review by Rodolphe
I'm not enthusiastic about this rum... Not very complex and marked by the wood but not greedy... In short, it's not bad, but that's where it ends for me...
Review by Timo Groeger
Kann in der Nade kaum was riechen. Ansonsten schmeckt er halt wie ein normaler, durchschnittlicher Agricole. Hat einen leicht alkoholischen Geschmack, ist aber ok und gut eingebunden. Ansonsten schmeckt man noch tropische Früchte raus. Ist ok.
Review by Gregor
Of the typical Agricoletönen you notice quite little in the smell and in the taste they are weak. That's exactly why I like it. It tastes almost like a blend of molasses and agricole and that makes it exciting and complex. I can recommend it

24 rums 2022 ve vůni necítím nejdřív nic, pak mírně cukrovou třtinu, ale rychle se vytratí chuť jemně agricolová, trošku ovocná vůně 2/5 Chuť 2/5
Review by Pascal Gwada
Nez floral sympa, fait penser à de la mélasse. En bouche ce n'est pas agréable, sans consistance et trop d'amertume.
Review by GigiMartini
Il più debole assaggiato tra 2008, 2009, XO, e Blanc. Piacevole, facile da bere, ma troppo anonimo rispetto agli altri Damoiseau elencati.
