Damoiseau Les Arrangés Goyave Rose

Damoiseau is the largest distillery in Guadeloupe and a major export name, and this Les Arranges Goyave Rose belongs to its range of rhums arranges, rums steeped with fruit in the French-island tradition. Built on a cane-juice base and flavoured with rose guava, it is bottled at a low 30%.

The profile is led squarely by ripe guava and tropical fruit with vanilla in support, finishing thick and syrupy. This is a sweet, fruit-forward drink, an arrange that sits much closer to a fruit liqueur than to a dry agricole, and it should be understood that way rather than as a serious sipping rum. At its gentle strength it makes an easy, indulgent pour over ice or a fragrant tropical cocktail base, a glass for those who want sweetness and ripe fruit front and centre.
