Damoiseau Rhum Vieux Cuvée du Millénaire 1986
Woody and earthy up front, with vanilla, burnt sugar and a floral, almost geranium-and-chocolate edge that keeps it from turning into a wood soup. This old 1986 Damoiseau agricole drinks smooth, round and balanced at 42%. A few tasters wish it hit harder — it can read a bit light — and one warns it fades fast once the bottle's been open a while.
- Balanced and elegant
- Floral, woody depth
- Smooth, round palate

How does Damoiseau Rhum Vieux Cuvée du Millénaire 1986 taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Earthy, floral old agricole, gently woody Most see a balanced, elegant old agricole — earthy, floral, woody. The catch: several find it a touch light and short on the finish, and it suffers once open too long.

Review by Stefan Persson
Damoiseau’s best? It’s a pity that there’s so very few left out there. Nice nose, super smooth and an elegant and subtle medium long finish.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Wow, a stroke of luck. Old bottle, cork in the rum, everything looked like a mistake. But I was able to filter the rum and the taste is spot on. Certainly on a par with the 18 brothers of these legendary 80s Damoiseaus. Again balanced, earthy, floral.
Review by Righrum
Great rum that has been ruined by the time it has been open. Yet, a great example of what Damoiseau was able to do in the past
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
An older tasting and I'm still struggling to add my older tastings without spamming too much 😊 A very nice rum with great balance though I think the ABV should have been higher because it comes off a bit light. Still a great and well balanced rum with nice fruit and floral notes. Lightly dry palate with light chocolate at the end.
Review by Thunderbird
Tasting-Abend bei Dr. Django: Das ist schon ein besonderer Agricole… Damoiseau aus den 80er. Schwer, dunkel und würzig kommt er daher, von der Nase bis zum Abgang ein recht intensiver Rum. Alkohol ist nicht wahrnehmbar.. Vielen Dank an Leo, den mal im Glas haben zu können
Review by Oliver
Perfect nose. Too flat on the palate.
