Damoiseau Blanc Cuvée du distillateur is a tribute to the elders who founded the brand in 1942. Roger Damoiseau, father and son, developed a unique style of agricultural rum, which has now been taken over by the third generation, who commemorate their 40th year of harvesting here.
This white agricultural rum is fermented and distilled from pure cane juice. It flows from the Creole column at 88% alcohol, then rests for 1 to 2 months in oak tuns. It is then stirred, aerated and slowly reduced to 55%.
Nico's tasting notes
The nose opens with ripe, mellow cane and oily notes of preserved lime. Despite this, the atmosphere remains rather light and floral, with geranium clinging to the nostrils and recalling more vegetal nuances.
With aeration, the vegetal side becomes stronger, but is just as candied. The ripe cane is impregnated with sweet pepper, and we imagine a tender fiber that we want to chew.
The palate is full of sweetness, with a hint of lime juice acidity to balance it out, like a ready-made ti'punch. The cane offers very natural, very simple flavors, for a clear, gourmet mouthfeel, without a hitch.
The finish is made up of candied vegetables, with a hint of chestnut.
"A very pretty Guadeloupean white rum, tasty, simply gourmand..."
