    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.

    "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."

    "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."

    "Ordentlicher Rum aus Guadeloupe. Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden. nuss, Karamell und Frucht liegen auf der Nase und dann auch deutlich im Mund. Kein Rum , den man braucht, aber ein Rum, den man gerne trinkt wenn er einem vor dîe Nase gesetzt wird"
