Aroma visualization from community tastings
Dugas Damoiseau La Maison du Rhum 2009
Fresh sugar cane juice and citrus lead the nose, with light wood and a touch of exotic fruit — papaya, guava — that opens up as it airs. A cane-juice Guadeloupe from Damoiseau, but at 8 years and 42% several tasters find it thin and watery, oddly sweet, with the alcohol sticking out. Promising start, quiet middle.
The community says- Fresh cane nose
- Bright citrus

How does Dugas Damoiseau La Maison du Rhum 2009 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Citrusy cane rum that fades thin and quick Opinions land around lukewarm: a nice citrus-and-cane nose that fades fast on a thin, slightly bitter palate. Most feel it was diluted a step too far.

Review by Timo Groeger
And from Reunion back to the Caribbean :) Relatively fruity on the nose, especially citrus fruits here, also slight wood nuances. On the palate then relatively spicy, but also slightly bitter and a bit woody.
Review by LukaŽiga
7,4:On the nose it opens with fresh sugar cane juice and exotic fruits like papaya, guava or even melon. These fruits will ripen as the rum is aired, letting in light nuts and vanilla. The woodiness is also light, a little waxy and resinous. Aeration brings out gourmet and mature face with dried banana, fresh tobacco, yeast, even black tea and some perfumed notes. The woodiness is melted and slightly toasted, the spices are sweet-pepper and the orange peel, become caramelized, while cognac notes complete the picture on the nose. 7,2:On the palate it is rich, quite seductive. The citrus fruits begin their freshness, present themselves as a sweet marmalade with candied ginger shards. There is less sugar cane as on the nose. The mid-palate is very soft, the intensity goes down, but the aromas of waxy wood and dried fruits are really tasty.After rest, it is a bit iodized, bitter... 7,4:The finish is with sugar cane, woody, dry, with fresh tobacco, fruity, yeast and black tea, round and mellow...
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Great nose of raspberries, citrus fruits, and various baked aromas. Unfortunately very thin and watered down on the palate, also unusually sweet and rather somewhat one-dimensional. At the same time, the alcohol could be better integrated. Once again an example of a failed dilution of a potentially good rum.
Review by Fuwi
Phew. So first two positive points: 1. It's apparently rum 2. It tastes better than Remedy Spiced Then it gets really tight. There's absolutely nothing. The nose is practically non-existent, on the tongue watery lemon and with a lot of imagination a bit of barrel. After swallowing, 3 seconds later it's as if you never tried it.
Review by Johannes
A bit too alcoholic and too young, but if you know that, you can definitely taste Damoiseau.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Unfortunately leaves no lasting impression. Juiceless and powerless. A pity.
