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
- Keep in mind: Dry peppery palate

How does Damoiseau Subprime Cuvée 2008 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
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.

Most helpful positive review
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.

Tasted in sample twice. Agricultural woody notes. On the nose a fruity start of pear/apricot contrasting with pepper. The palate is lively, the wood a bit tannic. The fruitiness stays in the background, the pepper remains present. Fruit returns at the end, cane, tobacco.
Review by Stefan Persson
Tasted this Agricole from Guadeloupe during the Sweden Rum Fest in Stockholm 2025. It’s a vintage rum aged in ex-bourbon oak barrels. The nose is the generous, powerful, fruity, spicy, vegetal and fresh with scents of raisins, strawberry, apple, pear, cumin, licorice, olive and rosemary. At the palate it’s mellow, full-bodied, fruity, spicy and vegetal with flavors of exotic fruits, plum, prune, licorice and olives. The finish is just medium and its the fruity notes that’s persisting.
Review by Timo Groeger
So, this is the last one for today, but it's really delicious. Yes, the nose is rather sweet, vanilla and wood are recognizable. On the palate, in addition to wood and vanilla, we also have spices and, above all, pepper. Good night ;-)
Review by F Kraemmer
Tasting with Mr. Simon Hansen 16.07.2026 RX 1576 Damoiseau Subprime Nose: Beautiful agricole, light mineral salt, light vanilla and fruity sweetness, notes of nuts. Grass and not least rubber. Palate: Sour fruity sweetness, pleasantly spicy with light pepper. Bittersweet rubber and chocolate. Nice aftertaste of light tobacco box and grass. Glass: Tobacco box, grass and hay. Tasting “In the garden”
Review by Frank
A sample from the HanseSpirit'25. Nose: very pleasant, spicy-woody-fruity entry, almost floral, with fresh-grassy and caramel-chocolatey notes. Some vinegar resonates. Orange with lemon and pear with apple, plus plenty of gooseberry. The chocolate note increases significantly over time. I like it very much, 8.2 Palate: powerful and spicy-woody. The Agricole comes through here. At first bitter-salty-peppery with caraway, nutmeg and lemon peel, then it turns towards aniseed with a medicinal note and finally it becomes long and grassy with camomile and sugar cane without sweetness. Can't keep up with the nose and is too grassy for me. 7.7
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 Joachim Guger
Fine, very good Agricole.
Review by Matej
Unexpected sample for today. For start let this rum rest in the glass. In aroma I noticed hint of vanilla, wood and like salty dry scent, a lot of grass and agricole scents and lot of fruits (mostly orange and apple which, thanks to those scents aroma itself is pretty juicy). Taste is combination of agricole tones with pepper, wood and bitter. With my next sip I noticed chocolate and dried fruits (again apples), but the whole taste seems dry. Finish is quite enough with lot of floral/vegetal notes, little bit of spice and bitter. Very nice sample, but to be honest I was expecting more from this rum. What I really like was scent and taste of apples, so the whole rum seems dry but at the same time it seems juicy (pretty good can not lie).
Review by Djehey
Nice gourmet profile with liveliness, intensity and a spicy edge. This gives it an energy that makes it quite remarkable. The value for money is also very interesting. Perhaps the best damoiseau at an affordable price.
Review by Johannes
A surprisingly mature and intense, complex Agricole for its young age and low percentages. However, I probably wouldn't have classified it as Guadeloupe blind. I find the grapey, fruity notes a little lacking.
Review by Daniel Jungberg.
Tasting at "Basecamp" D. 26.07.2026 Sample from Fra F. Kraemmer. Nose on an adventure👃: I sense a balanced and pleasant agricole! There’s bitter grass, rubber, vanilla, a bit of pear. Tongue on an adventure 🥃: tastes a bit dry but at the same time super fresh! There’s citrus, nuts, vanilla and definitely a salty sensation I can’t place? There’s some licorice and notes of pepper! Tail of the story💫: short to medium finish! Lovely and pleasant. Generally vegan, cinnamon sneaks in along with nuts.
Review by Alan Bertoli
Tasted in sample. On the nose it is delicate and balanced with aromas of caramel, licorice and more delicate fresh notes of citrus and mint. The entry on the palate is quite aggressive, pungent and peppery. It leaves a fairly bitter taste of licorice, mint and nutmeg. Overall it is good but certainly very particular.
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 Louis Zimmermann
Pleasantly surprised by this old Guadeloupean. Great work by Damoiseau offering an unpretentious agricole rum with nice vanilla notes. The alcohol level suits it perfectly, giving it a very pleasant power.
Review by ChristophFFM
The nose is round but a bit boring. However, the alcohol is relatively well integrated. Not as green in nose and taste as other typical Agricole. Reminds more of molasses rum. Nice, roasted finish with wood and chocolate. Second attempt: slightly sharp and no longer so round.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Highly unusual profile for an agricole. Baked apple & pear, salted caramel, milk chocolate, cinnamon, dried fruit and tobacco! Overall really harmonious and balanced. Positive surprise despite dilution.
Review by ilRummista
An excellent drink. A really very distinctive and characteristic flavor profile with woody and floral hints. Outstanding value for money! Of course I would not have disdained a few more degrees which would have given it more strength on the palate and brought it even closer to some of Damoiseau's historic bottlings!
Review by Fuwi
Agricole meeting and tasting with Kevin in Blåvand, Denmark Dark nose, very nice agricole aromas that come across very dark and strong. Sugarcane, vegetal freshness that meets dark chocolate, salty edgy notes on the palate - very soft and despite the low ABV quite complex, great value for money
Review by Pascal Gwada
Salon Lycée Hôtelier: Dry and very short, flat. Tasted again cellar 20/20: not more convinced, fruity okay, but dry and not generous.
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 Zorman 🇩🇰
Good overall, and very good for the price.
Review by Filip Šikula
For me, it is very different from other pieces from this distillery. Both in aroma and taste, besides flowers, fruit and wood, there is something I can't quite place even after several sips. Definitely a pleasant piece though.
Review by GigiMartini
A good rum, balanced but with a strong and intense character, especially considering the gradation
