Damoiseau Gold is an amber, or "wood-aged" rum from the famous Grande-Terre distillery. The cane used to make Damoiseau agricultural rum is grown on this territory of Guadeloupe. The column-distilled rum is rested in oak casks of various capacities (from 10 to 36,000 liters). It rests there for at least 12 months, acquiring a beautiful suppleness. It also gains a slight woody tinge and aromas of sweet spices.
Nico's tasting notes
On the nose, a vegetal, honeyed candy is unwrapped in the glass, with expressive cane juice carried by a certain sweetness. Notes of fermentation can be detected, bringing out a certain rustic character, rounded out by hints of spring honey.
Aeration further enhances this honeyed sensation, relying above all on floral and gently vegetal notes, rather than sweetness. The cane juice is coated in this golden patina, giving it a velvety air.
The palate is soft and full of cane, with a lovely rustic, fermented character that floats in a syrupy fruit salad. The pepper adds a little more consistency and intensity on the mid-palate, but delicacy remains the key word.
On the finish, the vegetal register takes over, still with a hint of fermentation that gives us a few touches of resin and iodine.
"A blend of rusticity and softness, an authentic vesou cliché..."
