Tasting

Nose : The nose of this Karukera 2009 opens instantly with pronounced Cognac aromas resulting from the interaction between the rum and the meticulously selected casks. The scents of fresh sugarcane, typical of this brand, are discreetly revealed but gradually assert their presence. Warm spicy notes (pepper) blend with those of vanilla, recalling the exoticism of its origins.

Palate: The tasting opens with beautiful aromas of sugarcane. This sugarcane reveals notes that are as sweet as they are irresistible, mingling with spices (pepper and cinnamon) that relentlessly tease the palate. A very fine structure, concentrated and captivating.

Finish: The finish arrives like the cherry on top, unfolding all the superb aromas of sugarcane so typical of Karukera and bringing a lovely freshness to the whole. A charming touch for this Guadeloupean vintage...
