To Karukera
"A very nice single barrel with a warm and fruity profile. Lightly spicy and a very long finish."
"Etwas bitter und ordentlich würzig. Kein Rum für den nüchternen Gaumen. Holz, getrocknete Früchte, dezente Süsse. Mit Wasser wird er wesentlich gefälliger."
"Schmeckt besser, als die sehr verhaltene Nase suggerierte. Alkohol ziemlich gut integriert. Braucht Zeit, sich zu entwickeln. Danke an Tschusikowsky für das Sample!"
"Im direkten Vergleich mit Karukera Japoniani. RX6221 ist Relativ bitter, Holz, Röstnoten, etwas Gewürz, bisschen kandierte Früchte. Finde den jetzt nicht schlecht, aber der Japoniani ist ein anderes Level. Deutlich mehr Gewürznoten, etwas nussig, grasig, schöne Holznoten. Alkohol gut integriert. Beide Rums eher trocken. Insgesamt Jsponiani viel besser ausbalanciert und komplexer."
