This remarkable rum hails from the Karukera distillery in Guadeloupe and is part of the Four Daughters range, named 'For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her,' inspired by the Simon and Garfunkel song. Distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2017, this limited edition rum—only 372 bottles produced—was aged for six years in a single Sherry cask and bottled at cask strength of 54.1% ABV. The unique maturation process in the tropical climate of Guadeloupe imbues this rum with an incredibly aromatic and complex profile.

The palate is a harmonious blend of sweet, sour, and spicy notes, showcasing cherry, dried fruits, maple, and cocoa. The finish is long and balanced, featuring sour cherry, cinnamon, leather, and caramel. This expression of Karukera has earned high praise for its exceptional quality, with reviewers noting its outstanding balance, exciting combination of classic Karukera profile and Sherry cask influences, and a delicious drinking experience.
