    How does this rum taste?

    The "L‘Expression" is a limited-edition Agricole rum from the Karukera distillery in Guadeloupe, distilled in 2008 from sugarcane juice using a Creole Column and aged for 8 years. Bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 48.1%, it offers a rich profile with woody, chocolate, and coffee aromas leading into a spicy, milk chocolate, and butterscotch-laden palate. Users appreciate its balance and complexity while noting its bold woody and spicy notes, complemented by hints of vanilla and dried fruit. The finish is described as medium-long, with lingering wood, fruit, and tobacco nuances. A sought-after choice for those appreciating agricole rums with well-integrated alcohol.

    Very nice balance between wood, spices and gourmet.

    Thinking about the price tag on this bottle you get a lot for your buck! The nose is fruity with roasted wood, sugarcane and vanilla and if you leave the empty glass you will also pick up a lovely chocolate note. The palate is also fruity with roasted wood, vanilla, chocolate and a hint of tobacco. The finish is medium long with wood, fruits, spices and a bit of tobacco.

    good but nose in adequacy with the mouth. very beautiful nose on roasted wine (port/madere). then a wiser mouth more classic. expensive for an 8 years old

    Runder Agricole, der ein komplexes und ausgewogenes Profil bietet. Sehr ansprechende Nase, jedoch wirkt das Mundgefühl etwas scharf und kräuterlastig. Ein langer Abgang hinterlässt schöne Aromen wie Honig, Trockenfrüchte, Kaffee und Holz.
