Karukera L'Expression - Brut de Fût 2020
Wood, spice and prunes lead here, with vanilla and a fruity, sugarcane lift underneath. Several tasters find the palate more fruit-forward than the nose promises, then spice takes over with oak in the background. It's a young Guadeloupe agricole at cask strength, so the alcohol isn't perfectly tucked in — a couple of members note it needs to rest in the glass.
The community says- Woody and spicy
- Fruity palate
- Alcohol not integrated

The look inside the bottle
How does Karukera L'Expression - Brut de Fût 2020 taste?
Aggregated from 48 community reviews.
Young, woody agricole with fruit and heat Most find this a well-made young agricole — woody, spicy, surprisingly fruity in the mouth. The catch: the heat isn't fully integrated, and a few wanted more of Karukera's usual oak grip.

Review by Czech Rum porter
a very hilarious piece 👍
Review by Flrofmars
Mélange de puissance car jeune (18mois de mémoire) et de boisé (double passage en fut neuf si je dit pas de bêtise), assez atypique ! Un vrai bon rapport qualité prix pour amateurs aux palais rodés.
Review by edouard jaulent
Un rhum vif par son degré d’alcool mais très bien réalisé avec beaucoup de subtilité. Les 60° ne sont pas agressifs en bouche. La complexité est très agréable.

#4649 09.03.2024 relaxing at home with some nice samples from a good friend. Nose Wood, light roasted, plum, dried fruit, spices, sugarcane, floral. Palate Wood, light roasted, spices, intense, medium dry, plum, fruity, faint chocolate, floral. Finish Medium to long, wood, prunes, floral, light chocolate, light coffee. ABV is pretty well integrated and the rum needs to rest. The empty glass has some citrus and sugarcane.
Review by Barnagricole
More powerful than the first batch. The mouth is very surprising and much more fruity than the nose. Shortly after the fruit comes the spices which quickly take over with a rather pleasant wood in the background. The finish is a little too alcoholic for my taste but quite long.
Review by Renato
A very promising nose of dried fruits. But the mouth is weaker.
Review by Fasen
Un Guadeloupéen un peu juste en arômes je trouve, avec des marqueurs que l'on connaît déjà sans casser 3 pâtes a un canard. Cependant cela reste bon a boir avec un jolie boisé.
