Karukera Cuvée Saint-Malo Guadeloupe 2022
The surprise here is the nose: fresh and floral on opening, then after fifteen minutes in the glass it swings toward licorice, coffee and oak. The palate is woody and properly spicy — nutmeg leads, with vanilla, a touch of red fruit and light sweetness. Several tasters found it agreeable but not remarkable, and the finish runs short.
The community says- Nutmeg spice
- Floral opening
- But: Short finish

Review by Pierre-Antoine RVT
Ne convient pas forcément à tous les palais, mais très agréablement surpris. Rhum intéressant, boisé épicé et légèrement sucré, très doux. C’est un rhum correct pour déguster entre amis et faire connaître à des débutants, voire à des amateurs aimant le côté doux sans que ce soit trop sucré
Review by Léo Delek
Rhum très agréable ou le végétal reste présent malgré le boisé. Onbest sur un rhum très épicé avec du cacao et de la muscade. On sent des notes de raisin qui viennent de l'élevage et cognac avec des petites notes toastés typique de chez karukera
Review by Pascal Gwada
Avent 2023 n12. Surprenant car nez frais et floral à l'ouverture, comme la bouche. Après 15-20min d'aération le nez est sur le réglisse et la bouche beaucoup plus sur la café et boisé, sans être d'exception, j'aime beaucoup.

La Route des Rhums Adventskalender 2023. Karukera Cuver Saint-Malo au Guadeloupe. In der Nase sehr holzig, aber auch rote Früchte sind zu erkennen. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls sehr holzig, außerdem sehr würzig, Muskatnuss ist hier hervorzuheben.
Review by Gd Flo
C’est pas mauvais mais c’est pas ouf non plus 🥴. Je n’ai pas trouvé le nez et la bouche très expressive et la finale est courte.
Review by Rado Vito
Well it is ok rum. Minty, ground smell. Soft and mild after taste. Mediocre body.
