Rum Damoiseau XO

Rhum agricole is the French term for rum distilled from freshly squeezed sugar cane juice rather than from molasses. Rhums Damoiseau are made with 100% first-pressed aromatic and flavorful sugarcane juice that are extracted by pressing quality estate grown sugarcane. This process is inspired by the enjoyment of great brandies, more particularly by the Armagnac of southwestern France. After the distillation, the rhum is stocked in oak barrel that had previously been used for bourbon. While the rhum is stocked in oak barrel, some aromatic components evaporating, it is called “la part des anges” (angels parts). Given the hot climate in Guadeloupe, the evaporation is important. Two liters of white rhum are required to get one liter of 10 Years Aged Rhum. Thanks to this maturation in oak barrel, the rhum is taking notes of wood and his light brown coloration. Guadeloupe has long had the reputation of having one of the best terroir for sugarcane cultivation. Mister Rimbaud one day came from Martinique to Guadeloupe and created the Bellevue Distillery in the village of Le Moule at the end of XIXth century. In 1942, Roger Damoiseau bought the distillery and created the brand Rhum Damoiseau. It is now still run by his grandson, Hervé Damoiseau. Years after years, the family made the necessary investments and transformed the old tiny distillery into a producer of world-class Rhum Agricole.

Aged a minimum of 6 years in ex-bourbon barrels, Damoiseau X.O Rhum has a unique combination of power and finesse for an aged Rhum Agricole. A heavy oceanic character has given an opulent depth and the wood and sugarcane come together to release burnt orange peel, mint, cinnamon, and tobacco spices.
