Got this 5cl sample of the 3yo Damoiseau VO from Rum Ratings Tasting Club.
The aroma is mild with possibility to detect honey, vanilla and hints of wood.
On the palate there is a certain sweetness and it’s possible to detect orange, cardamom and coffee.
During the medium long finish the cardamom and coffee dominates.
Picture: My emptied sample and the poured glass.

Was not sure if I liked it or not and took me a number of sips to decide I rather did, despite the quite Burny aftertaste.

You know the drill, agricole, flowery, grassy, for whisky lovers only.

Ikke ligefrem min kop rom, hvis I forstår sådan en lille en.

Bit too sweet and creamy, with caramel, soft sugars and some lemon zest, but not much more.

On nose with fresh aroma, alcohol a bit harsh, but nice aftertaste with little sugar

Aroma is typical agricole, full of fresh grass.
Taste is not so complex and still a bit harsh (3y aging only) Aftertaste is shorter with bitter woody and apple tones on palate. Not bad, but if you can, pay a bit more for longer matured agricole.

Damoiseau cultivates a different terroir sugar cane of the Guadeloupe archipelago, which may be because of its windward position, flatter land (akin to Mare-Galante) and soil differences. It tastes a bit more metallic and musky than the others, something I don't really love (and for some reason reminds me of rust or a ripe tomato), but respect as they are the only distiller still in operation on Grande Terre and bring a unique profile to the rhum agricole of these islands.
The VO does not have a crazy agricole flavor upfront, as one would expect, but flashes a strong alcohol fire in the nose - a little spicy - and hits more caramel-flavored territory à la other aged demerara spirits. Similar to Diplomatic Reserva, although nowhere near as sweet. Do note the VO rating applies to Brandies and Cognacs, and generally Martinique rhums are the only ones recognized as being able to market themselves in such a manner because of their AOC.
