The Karukera 2019 L'expression Brut de Fut is an exceptional rum that showcases the impact of cask aging, even in the early stages of maturation. Distilled in July 2019 at the Domaine du Marquisat de Sainte Marie in Guadeloupe, this amber rum was initially aged in new French oak casks, then transferred to old cognac barrels after 8 months, allowing it to develop a complex and well-rounded flavor profile.
The nose is greeted by a generous, plump, and tender oakiness, intertwined with comforting chocolate notes and a hint of gingerbread enriched with cane sugar honey. The cane sugar character remains present, now more velvety and mature, providing a soft and tender impression.
Bottled without cold filtration or alcohol reduction, this brut de fut expression retains its full strength and aromatic intensity. The palate reveals a profound spiciness balanced by a smooth, sweet character. The tonka bean and honeyed gingerbread flavors are prominent, complemented by the confit, velvety character of the cane.
With aeration, the intensity of the spices increases, harmoniously combined with the rum's sweetness and smoothness. A faint cereal note, reminiscent of toasted oak, emerges, further enhancing the tasting experience.
Once again, the Karukera master blender demonstrates exceptional skill in elevating this rum. Beginning its journey in new French oak casks, it is then transferred to ex-cognac barrels to achieve roundness and harmony, resulting in a truly exceptional rum.
