Dzama 1998 10-Year

Un bon rhum qui moi me rappelle des goûts et des odeurs que j'ai rencontrés en Afrique. Moi il me fait un peu rêver même si il n'est pas extraordinaire. Réservé aux amateurs de goûts boisés.

Nothing much to say about this - fairly unremarkable sugar cane destilate, with no discernible character.

Wonderful aroma! Raster really long, can make your evenings unforgetable. Recomended a lot!

Very tasty sweet star and nice after burn. This is good sipper

Strong fruit flavour, very strong, dry but nice ending.

I liked this one! Smooth drinking, came as a tip from my local liquorstore and was not dissapointed. Funny bottle design with those leaves!

Dzama 1998
Rhum Vieux
Aged 10 Years
45%

Country of origin: Madagascar

Color: Chestnut Oloroso

Nose:
Sweet and a little reluctant. The smell is dominated by aromas of exotic plants and spices - tons of cardamon, some sandalwood, cacao and coffee. Furthermore it is a little spicy (Jalapeños).

Palate:
Smooth and creamy with notes of toffee, cappuccino and mocca.

Finish:
Medium long on notes of toffee. A little spicy.

The 10 year old Vieux Rhum Dzama has a very strong alcohol smell to the nose, but the taste test is a bit better. Raisin flavor is a big component, and there is hardly any sweetness to this rhum, it is super dry. Hardly any burn at the end, which is quite surprising taking into consideration the strong initial alcohol smell. If you like Rhum Agricole's in general terms, then add 3 points, otherwise if you like sweeter rums like me, it struggles to earn a 5 score.

Acheté à Madagascar lors d'une escale à Tamatave, c'est pour moi le meilleur choix de chez Dzama. La vanille est présente mais pas trop le rhum est complexe est long en bouche. Le prix est juste imbattable à moins de 15€. Je mets 8/10 pour le rhum et 10/10 pour le rapport plaira/prix !

Offered in an orginial bottle ( with strange spout :-) ), this Dzama is quite clear in the glass with small legs.
On the nose, it is light, fresh, fruity ( slightly oriented to citrus aromas ) and also spicy specially the pepper.
When you sip it, your mouth confirms what you nose told you earlier. Light and spicy, the pepper even burns your tongue. Quite a special one which has to be tasted.
