How does this rum taste?
The Karukera Velier Single Cask 2008 from Guadeloupe is a limited-release rum, expertly distilled using sugarcane juice with a column still and aged for 9 years. With only 299 bottles produced, it features a robust ABV of 58.4%. Tasting notes reveal a sweet, fresh aroma complemented by hints of pear and vanilla, transitioning into roasted, spicy, honey, and caramel flavors. Diverse user feedback indicates a well-integrated alcoholic warmth and complex profile with roasted notes and spice predominating on the palate. While praised for its unique blend of honey and spice, some find it slightly one-sided with a bitter aftertaste.

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.
