Damoiseau Subprime Cuvée 2008
Agricole fans who want something a bit off the beaten path should look here. The nose is the star — baked apple and pear, sugarcane, vanilla and even milk chocolate, less earthy than a typical Guadeloupe. The palate turns dry, peppery and woody, with a bitter, salty edge that not everyone loves. At 47.9% it stays vivid without much heat.
The community says- Gorgeous fruity nose
- Value for money
- But: Dry peppery palate

How does Damoiseau Subprime Cuvée 2008 taste?
Aggregated from 53 community reviews.
Complex aged agricole, nose beats the palate Most agree it punches above its age and proof — an unusually complex agricole and a genuine value pick. A common note: the palate can't quite match that gorgeous nose.

Review by Godspeed
Damoiseau is my preferred gwada profile and I love this bottle because it does so much with so little. 57€, reduced, and only 7-8 years of ageing and yet you get a delicious profile chock-full of flavor with a generous length and all of it tremendously well integrated. Easy sipper gold and an unwitting brag about the incredible amount of mileage that the Damoiseau taste profile holds. No wonder their higher end stuff from yesteryear is so legendary if this modest little bottle is anything to go by.
Review by ChristophFFM
Die Nase ist rund, aber ein bisschen langweilig. Dafür ist der Alkohol relativ gut eingebunden. In Nase und Geschmack nicht so grün wie andere typische Agricole. Erinnert eher an Melasse Rum. Schöner, röstiger Abgang mit Holz und Schokolade. Zweiter Versuch: leicht stechend und nicht mehr so rund.
Review by Tim
Smells mega delicious, a bit like a Guyana rum, but with a lot of Agricole, especially apple or pear like J.M or Depaz. Not the typical earthy and leathery Agricole, but more caramel, sugar cane, fruit and chocolate and overall very complex. Alone what fruits you can discover all! In the mouth then very sharp, dry and spicy, which unfortunately does not meet my taste. Overall, nevertheless, a very good rum.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This rum is really nice and I just had to go for seconds. The nose is well balanced with a mixture of grass, vanilla, fruits and a mixture of wood. The palate is balanced and complex with spices, fruit and flowery/Agricole touch to it. Chocolate and wood finishes the experience. The finish is medium long primarily cinnamon and tobacco with a bit of candy and grass to it.
Review by ilRummista
Un ottima bevuta. Un profilo aromatico veramente molto particolare e caratteristico con sentori legnosi e floreale. Rapporto qualità prezzo eccezionale! Certo non avrei disdegnato qualche grado in più che gli avrebbe dato maggiore forza al palato e lo avrebbe avvicinato ancora di più ad alcuni imbottigliamenti storici di Damoiseau!
Review by Righrum
I am a damoiseau lover, so might be biased. Still, this is a great aged agricole rhum, excellent nose but somewhat lacking in the palate, mainly due to low abv. Can't be compared to 1995 and older Brut de Fut not having molasses at all, so a different profile yet enough consistent especially with 1995. A great value for money rum
Review by Djehey
Beau profil gourmand avec de la vivacité, une certaine intensité et un côté pimenté. Ça lui donne une énergie qui le rend assez remarquable. Le rapport qualité prix est aussi très intéressant. Peut être le meilleur damoiseau à un tarif accessible.
Review by Johannes
Für das junge Alter und die niedrigen Prozente erstaunlich reif wirkender und intensiver, komplexer Agricole. Blind hätte ich ihn aber wahrscheinlich nicht nach Guadeloupe eingeordnet. Dafür fehlt mir etwas das traubig-fruchtige.
Review by GigiMartini
A good rum, balanced but with a strong and intense character, especially considering the gradation
