The surprise here is how light this XO drinks for its name — several tasters expected more punch and got a soft, grassy agricole instead. Expect hay and green cane up front, then oak, vanilla and dried fruit from the bourbon casks, with a peppery, dry finish that fades fast. Pleasant and floral, but the nose tends to promise more than the palate gives.
The community says- Balanced and floral
- Vanilla and oak
- Keep in mind: Light for an XO

Light, grassy agricole with soft oak and vanilla Well-liked as an easy, woody agricole with vanilla and dried fruit, though many find it too light and short-finished for something labeled XO.

not sweet, rather floral and woody. Not mainstream.

Review by Timo Groeger
The first impression here is rather average. There is a lot of wood on the nose and palate, and you can also detect some vanilla and caramel. A very roasty rum, solid but nothing special.
Review by Stefan Persson
Slot #1 in my Advent Calendar 2025. This six year old XO comes from the Damoiseau distillery. The distillery is a part of the Habitation Bellevue located in Moule in Guadeloupe. The house was founded at the end of the 19th century and the distillery dates back to 1914. The nose is vegetal, fruity, sweet and spicy with scents of orange, citrus, tobacco, cardamom, peppers and clove. At the palate it’s spicy, dry and fruity with flavors of cardamom, peppers and orange. The medium long finish is very dry and a little bitter with the flavor of orange slowly fading out.
Review by Gregor
Relaxed, balanced agricole. The typical green tones are quite gentle. Highly recommended for beginners who want to try Agricole

#4209 This is a very mild release and I'd have loved a higher ABV. Fruity and fresh with a lightly dry palate. There is a nice floral touch to the profile. The empty glass has some mint and light smoke. Price to quality is pretty good.
Review by MarcT
1. Impression: hay and grassy notes, then some wood and a bit later fruit. The fruit and other aromas are quite shy, while the alcohol arrives a bit strong. 2. Tasting: same as before, a bit more Caramel to the nose and the palate. All in all quite enjoyable.
Review by TheJackDrop
It's really weak for an XO, At the moment, I can't appreciate Le moindre Damoiseau...
Review by Righrum
A nice rum but not cheap enough to be interesting as a daily dram
Review by StefanR
The unusual color for an Agricole rum comes from its aging in bourbon barrels. The wood notes can be found in both the nose and the palate. Sugarcane, vanilla, as well as dried and citrus fruits characterize this rum.
Review by christophe desmenez
Discovered at the distillery during a tasting, I really appreciated the balance from start to finish, a very good value for money, it's a rum I would buy again without any problem
Review by passlemix
A very agricultural nose, as we like it: buttery cane, vegetal, banana and citrus. Consistent on the palate, sweet as can be with a hint of caramel on top. A very pleasant xo.
Review by Christoph
Long finish with toasty vanilla flavors. Some chocolate on the nose, vanilla again on the palate, dried fruit. The smell, however, promises more than it gives in taste. Since I like the aged Agricole from Martinique better.
Review by Kieron Wood
This is a smooth agricole which has delightful cognac notes that comes from the casks its place within . Dried fruit and burnt charcoal , that lovely oak taste on it .
Review by MJ72
Esters, fruit, on the palate caramel and a subtle sweetness added. Very pleasant.
Review by Tupiaz
It needs to get some air and time before drinking so it can open up. Even though the taste is still not very deep. The taste is pleasent and round. It reminds me of a meadow and grassy taste. A few spices at the end. For me it does to little especially considering the price. I'm probably not the target audience.
Review by Sophie
A pleasant rum with woody notes, despite a high alcohol content. Spicy finish (pepper, nutmeg), unfortunately very short.
Review by Anonymous
Very light for an XO, it lacks body
