Damoiseau Rhum Vieux Vintage 1953
The surprise here is the split personality: a knockout nose of banana, cherry and caramel that several tasters rate their favorite part, then a palate that turns dark — dried prunes, chocolate, nuts and licorice. A 31-year-old Damoiseau agricole from 1953, mild and gently sweet at 42%. Lovely, though a few feel the low proof leaves the palate slightly thin.
The community says- Beautiful fruity nose
- Prune and chocolate
- Palate feels thin

Aggregated from 33 community reviews.
Old agricole, stunning nose, softer palate A gorgeous old Guadeloupe agricole most love for its nose; the palate is softer and, for some, held back by the modest 42% — one member called it "weak but tasty."

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Just got a bottle at a very good discount. One of the perks of being a big private collector. Just did a retaste. The nose is really nice and it's there from pouring it's just tickling your nose from afar. It start off very fruity with orange/lemon dominating. Then descends into wood and smoke. A very nice nose indeed. The palate is surprisingly warm the proof considered, but it is a disappointment because the flavours get mixed up and I think this one would have benefitted from a higher proof. Not as fruity and slightly tannin/tea bitter. The finish is medium long and woody/fruity.

Lovely old agricole
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Toller Vintage aus Guadeloupe mit einer ungewöhnlich intensiven Dörrpflaume, Schokoladen Note. Sehr mild und süßlich gefällig und gefahrlos süffig. Lecker aber bräuchte ich keine Flasche davon. Dennoch eine spannende Gelegenheit!

Weak but tasty. Definitely not sour and little bit sweet
