Aroma visualization from community tastings
Velier Damoiseau 1989
Leather and tobacco lead here, wrapped in vanilla, dried fruit and a curl of glue that gives the whole thing depth. This is a 17-year Damoiseau agricole Velier bottled at full 58% — intense but balanced, with wood, honey and dark chocolate on the palate. One taster could "riechen für Stunden" — spend an hour just on the nose. A rare, complex old-timer.

How does Velier Damoiseau 1989 taste?
Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Old Damoiseau agricole: leather, tobacco, glue A serious, layered agricole that regulars rank near the legendary older Damoiseaus. The only gripe: a couple find the finish falls a touch flat.

Review by mto75
Another Damoiseau that you could smell for hours! Maggi spice, nutmeg, dried fruit, tobacco, vanilla. Spices, dried fruit, tobacco on the palate. Mocha, barrel and a pleasant, almost chocolaty sweetness on the finish. From memory, I would say that it can (almost) keep up with the high-flyer Damoiseau 1980. Many thanks to Vienna for the sample!
Review by Joachim Guger
Super Nase. Vanille, Karamell, getrocknete Früchte. Darüber schweben schöne Lösungsmittel- und Lacknoten. Erdig, frisch (Artischoke?). Sehr komplex, allein länger daran zu riechen erfreut das Herz. Sehr komplex und würzig im Mund. Ein wirklich toller Rum. So schön können Lösungsmittel- und Lacknoten sein.🤪 Schade, dass er so selten ist.

This is a really goog Damoiseau and I like what Velier has done to it. The nose is intense with fruit, wood, trailed by honey, leather and earthy notes. The palate is equally intense yet balanced with wood, fruit and honey closely trailed by leather, chocolate and light coffee and tobacco. The finish is long and warm with wood, fruits and some chocolate.
Review by Oliver
Outstanding Damoiseau. Finish unfortunately a little flat.
Review by Jakob
Sehr schöner Vertreter aus Guadeloupe - komplexes Profil mit vielen der klassischen Damoiseau-Aromen. Empfehlenswert!
Review by Pavel Spacek
Sooo mild and tasty. Unique taste, the closest taste is Courcelles 1972 (but Courcelles is sweet, this one is full of blossoms and grass)
