The Karukera L'Expression Small Batch is a distinguished agricultural rum from the renowned Domaine du Marquisat de Sainte Marie in Guadeloupe. This premium small batch rum, distilled in July 2019, showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the region. It was aged in new French oak barrels from August 13, 2019, before being transferred to ex-cognac barrels on April 15, 2020. The rum was racked on October 16, 2020, and meticulously reduced before being bottled on November 12, 2020, without undergoing cold filtering. With its rich amber hue, Karukera L'Expression Small Batch offers a refined, woody texture that is enhanced by light-grained oak and spicy notes. The aromatic profile features a delightful blend of sugarcane, coffee, and citrus, harmoniously balanced with robust woody and fruity nuances. On the palate, it delivers an exotic taste adventure, characterized by woody and dark chocolate overtones, complemented by smooth hints of vanilla and sugarcane. Limited to just 1,938 bottles, this unique blend is crafted for discerning lovers of fine spirits. Despite its 45% ABV strength, Karukera L'Expression Small Batch 45% offers a remarkably smooth and well-balanced drink, making it an appealing choice for both novices and experienced rum connoisseurs. Its dark mahogany appearance and sophisticated flavor profile make it a valuable addition to any liquor collection.
The dark mahogany hue is achieved through a combination of aging in new French oak barrels and ex-cognac barrels. However, some believe that the color may be supplemented by added sugar and colorants, similar to other rums like Don Papa.
While this rum is crafted with a refined flavor profile and high quality, some experienced rum aficionados suggest that it may be more suited for beginners due to its smoother, less aggressive taste.
Karukera L'Expression Small Batch is noted for its easy drinkability, which is partly due to its higher sugar content. This makes it less aggressive and more approachable, especially for those new to rum.
While Karukera L'Expression Small Batch is praised for its smoothness and easy drinkability, some reviewers believe it falls short of the expectations for an aged rum. They criticize its high sugar content and additional colorants, comparing it to rums like Don Papa. This rum is particularly recommended for beginners, rather than seasoned connoisseurs, due to its less aggressive profile and approachable taste.
