Karukera Double Distillat 2008 2013

Wood, leather and a little cocoa lead here, with citrus and faint caramel underneath and a light oily texture. What makes it interesting is the mix: Karukera blended molasses and cane juice, so you get agricole freshness sitting next to a rounder, aged body. One Danish taster tracked dried fruit and sugarcane right into the empty glass. The finish runs a touch short, and one reviewer found it a bit thin.

Woody, leathery Guadeloupe blend of cane and molasses Well-liked for its unusual agricole-meets-molasses character — woody, leathery, gently fruity. Most enjoyed it a lot; a couple noted a short finish and a slightly thin body.

8.8/10

A fine product! On the palate, caramel, coconut and citrus mingle with leather. Very pleasant to have a mix of agricultural and molasses. Great fun to drink, very, very good indeed! Finish a little short, however. Unfortunately, the price is far too high.
