About
Details

From freshly squeezed sugarcane juice

Based in the sunny Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, Damoiseau is situated in the best place to make some very fine Rhum Agricole. Rhum differs from Rum in that it is made from sugar cane juice rather than molasses. The tradition of making Rhum has been on the island for centuries and Damoiseau are the biggest producers found here. The Bellevue Distillery was bought by the Damiouseau family in 1942, and remains in the family to this day.

Damoiseau’s VSOP Rhum is distilled from the finest sugar cane Guadeloupe has to offer. It is then matured in charred ex-Bourbon casks for a minimum of four years. This Rhum has a sweet and complex flavour profile, with a great spiciness and gentle bitter coffee taste that really emphasises the saccharine over tones.
