Damoiseau 2009 7yr 66,9%

"Yes, the alcohol is already pulling properly. In the foreground a woody-spicy nose with dried apricot and some sulfur, reminiscent of sherry. In addition, some blackberry and cherry. But above that spicy wood, cedar and leather. Adds a chocolate note and some green sugar cane.Alcohol is also very present on the palate at the start. Comes salty-bitter with decent pepper, nutmeg and bitter orange. Licorice at the back and increasingly grassy.The finish remains bitter and grassy. At the end, the sugar cane also comes through.Too bad that the alcohol is not so well integrated."

"Caramel blackberry chocolate vanilla brownies on the nose with roasted nuts on the nose, taste then surprisingly quaffable and not too alcoholic for the young age and just under 67%. sweet, bitter and salty at the same time with notes of mocha, fruit bread and lots of spices. very tasty."

"C'est le bois qui arrive en 1er sur ce rhum avec un cote Souffre que je je retrouve bcp sur les hauts degrés vieillis. On a presque de la planche fraiche"

"The alcohol is not well integrated. Too pungent on the nose. In the mouth, it tastes srhr sharp at first. This is followed by roasted flavors, a chocolaty note and a woody note. Towards the finish very pleasant."

"Ich zog die Ausgewogenheit von 2008 vor, aber es ist immer noch ein guter Rum, wenn auch mit einem anderen Charakter"

"complex rum - very long aftertaste, beautiful wood"

"I had this at tasting selection , on first nose it's harsh and very overpowering in the grassy and wood notes. I was told to add a drop of water and it changed complexity completely , don't get me wrong the grass stayed but immense flavours of chocolate , cherry and cask notes . At this percentage it's dynamite the only thing that lets it down is price but that's why is scores 9 and not 10... 9nly joking 10"
