Review by Godspeed
Quite astringently alcoholic nose, mixed with some white chocolate. Not inviting but not unpleasant either. On the palate a completely different world opens up. Delicious exotic spices, slight caramel, tropical fruits (papaya in particular) all tantalizingly offset by the best expression so far of the signature Karukera dry bitter note. It's really good and makes you eager for the next sip. Excellent depth, medium to perhaps long finish. Probably could have supported even more ABV to punch the complexity outward even more, because there is a lot here. Easily the best Karukera I've tried so far. After my 3cl sample ran out I immediately wished I had more which is the sign of a really good one.
Review by Barnagricole
👃it's funky, floral freshness, cocoa, light alcohol 👃2: spices make an appearance but difficult to identify 👄: It's super good, complex, exotic flavors, roasted cocoa. ⏳: Cocoa bitterness but not unpleasant. Warm, spicy and fruity.
Review by MJ97
Very complex, lots going on. At first, the nose is alcoholic but not aggressive. There is a fruity and floral side (the latter predominates) as well as a roasted cocoa/chocolate side. The more it opens up, the more spices take over the floral. On the palate, after airing, I get a strong spicy side (pepper / nutmeg) that stings on the back of the tongue, a woody side that is there but does not take over at all. The finish is slightly bitter and woody, not too strong but persists over time.
