Aroma visualization from community tastings
Damoiseau VSOP
One taster called it a "honey-sweet agricole" that turns surprisingly complex after a soft, fruity start — and that split is the whole story. Expect grassy sugarcane, citrus, vanilla and a good hit of cinnamon spice, with a mild, round body from this Guadeloupe column-still cane-juice rum. Several found the palate a touch spicy and ordinary next to that gorgeous nose.
The community says- Fruity honeyed nose

How does Damoiseau VSOP taste?
Aggregated from 51 community reviews.
Soft, honeyed agricole with a spicy edge Most land around "pleasant but not spectacular": lovely fruity, honeyed nose, softer round palate with cinnamon spice. Some find it a little sharp or plain; a few call it genuinely complex.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is definitely not a mixer and I'd be sad to see people mixing with this very nice rum. A very delicious rum that's dry in the beginning but the explodes with a lot of flavours. A great Agricole that I think connoisseurs would love. Price to quality is very good.
Review by Philipp Kestel
honigsüser agricole. Nach dem süsslichen Geruch einer schöner milder agricole überraschend komplex lecker
Review by Paul Segui
Nez très aguicheur, riche, fruité et pâtissier, vanille caramel Très doux et gras en bouche c'est un bon rhum pour débuter la soirée il passe très bien il est assez gourmand tout en gardant l'authenticité de l'agricole, il y a un goût de cigare et de miel en bouche qui le distingue vraiment des autres Pas très boisé ni très long en bouche mais plutôt sur des arômes sucrés
Review by Korkennase
Kann auch gut pur getrunken werden. War mein erster Ti Punch mit einem braunen Rhum, geht gut aber für einen Ti Punch würde ich nicht weiter als VSOP gehen, da sonst das Holz zu dominant wird.
Review by Montana
Ein sehr fruchtiger Geruch, süß, etwas alkoholisch und scharf. Der Geschmack ist süßlich, leicht blumig, etwas alkoholisch, ganz angenehm. Der Nachklang ist mittellang.
Review by R Wehner
Nase fruchtig, honigsüße, bissel Würze, Zunge erst mild süß und fruchtig, dann der Hammer, komplex agricole, leicht scharf
Review by GigiMartini
Un rum molto fruttato e piacevole al naso, molto più ordinario al palato. Resta comunque una buona bevuta, abbastanza semplice ma piuttosto piacevole. Peccato per la speziatura un po' eccessiva al palato, poco coerente con la morbidezza al naso
Review by Stefan Persson
Not bad at all. The fruitiness dominates especially in nose and the medium long finish.
Review by Gregor
Leichte Agricoletöne. Schwach im Geruch. Im Geschmack dafür sehr rund
Review by Oliver
Entspannter Agricole
Review by MarcT
A very mild and soft sipper, made professionally but also a bit boring. I am even missing the Cognac or Grappa impressions of other Agricoles.
Review by Andi
Grasig, Zitrusfrüchte, Zuckerrohr, leicht wüzig. Nichts spektakuläres.
Review by ChristophFFM
Riecht sehr süß und schokoladig. Geschmacklich schlechter, scharf und schwierig einzuordnen.
Review by Kieron Wood
Such a different blend of two types of rum . Charcoal flavours followed by citrus fruits ... Makes a good Manhattan. ..
Review by David
Sympathique. Très marqué par la cannelle.
Review by HenryL
Tolle fruchtig-vanillige Nase die nach etwas Zeit Ähnlichkeit zu einem Speyside Whisky hat. Auch im Mund eine Mischung aus Scotch und Agricole, daher für jemanden der aus dem Whisky kommt wahrscheinlich ganz gut, meins ist das Profil nicht ganz.
Review by Righrum
Just ok, nothing of interest for experienced fellow rum guys
Review by Noname971
Loin d être fan des vieux Damoiseau j ai trouvé ce VSOP surprenant une attaque franche et agréable une présence de boisé et de fruité très équilibré avec l alcool. Une longueur en bouche plus que convenable laissant apprécié à nouveau le boisé
Review by Ypfa
pruneau et caramel font qu'il peut rapidement devenir écœurant
