Here's the twist: for an agricole, the grassy vegetal punch is mostly missing. The nose is fruity and cane-sweet, but several tasters found it fades fast into plain alcohol, with a thin, mild body. One reviewer liked exactly that, calling it almost a molasses-agricole blend. Others found it anonymous next to other Damoiseau bottles. Woody, dry, faint tropical fruit — a quiet everyday agricole.

In der Nase der Geruch nach Dörrobst, Sherry, einer leichten Karamellsüße, dunklem Holz und etwas Orange. Der Anblick im Glas ist ein dunkles Bernstein in Richtung Mahagonifarben. Im Glas wirkt der leicht ölig. Im Mund ist das Gefühl dann jedoch eher leicht wässrig. Im Abgang zeigt sich eine leichte wärmende Schärfe, dunkles Holz, eine leichte Süße, sowie ein lang anhaltender Geschmack nach eingelegtem Zimt-Pfirsich.

Review by LukaŽiga
7,8:On the nose, it delivers cottony notes of wood, very fatty peanuts and milk chocolate. It opens with a spicier note of biscuits, coffee and licorice. There is some medicinal touch and a hint of sugarcane. On aeration, an agricole with dried fruits and wood, we find this damp and cottony atmosphere again.We have peanuts, damp wood, oily cane, then the fatty and melted nuts.This is when the Guadeloupean style emerges, with candied fruits, banana is the most obvious, resinous and medicinal notes, as well as molasses. 8:On the palate, the attack is very smooth. There are some nuts, then herbaceous and medicinal flavors, licorice, molasses, coffee and resin, pairing agricultural profile made of cane, dried fruits (apricot) and tannins. 7,9:The finish is long, dry, an agricole side glows, woody and with dried fruits, spicy, the sugarcane is juicy, let's put it shortly, vegetal....
Review by Tim
A young Agricole with a very fruity nose. But somehow that was it, because there are only various alcohol notes on the nose. In mouth very thin and weak. Some sweetness from the sugar cane, some fruit and brandy. Like a mild brandy.
Review by Rodolphe
I'm not enthusiastic about this rum... Not very complex and marked by the wood but not greedy... In short, it's not bad, but that's where it ends for me...
Review by Timo Groeger
Can hardly smell anything on the nose. Otherwise, it just tastes like a normal, average Agricole. Has a slightly alcoholic taste but it's okay and well integrated. You can also taste tropical fruits. It's okay.
Review by Gregor
Of the typical Agricoletönen you notice quite little in the smell and in the taste they are weak. That's exactly why I like it. It tastes almost like a blend of molasses and agricole and that makes it exciting and complex. I can recommend it
Review by Pascal Gwada
Nice floral nose, reminds me of molasses. On the palate it's not pleasant, lacks body and too bitter.
Review by GigiMartini
The weakest tasted among 2008, 2009, XO, and Blanc. Pleasant, easy to drink, but too anonymous compared to the other listed Damoiseau.
