Karukera L'Expression - 45 2019
"Fruity with wood and light roasted notes," as one taster summed it up — think orange, vanilla, coffee and a little chocolate over a young cane-juice base. It's soft and easy for 45%, but that's part of the split: some find it round and pleasant, others call it thin, watery, and tasting sweeter and more synthetic than a real aged rum should.
The community says- Easy drinking
- Orange and vanilla
- But: Tastes watery

29.10.2022 whisky & Rum Festival, nice event with a few friends and a few of our own bottles. Very nice and well balanced rum. Fruity with wood and light roasted notes.

Vendu au prix d’un rhum vieux, avec le packaging d’un rhum vieux mais c’est un rhum d’à peine 1 an. Obtenir une telle coloration acajou en si peu de temps est impossible. Il s’agit d’un blanc avec beaucoup de sucre et des colorants comme les Don Papa. Il se boit du coup très facilement car peu agressif vu la teneur en sucre mais c’est pour capter un marché d’amateurs de rhum débutants. A déconseiller pour les connaisseurs !

Dégustation rapide au caviste, Un peu d’alcool quand même pour 45.
Review by Émile Shevek
On the nose burnt sugar, mixed fruits, light wood and slight roastiness The palate is sweetish, synthetic, woody, spicy, with some fruit in the background and roastiness
Review by djehey
Trop aqueux. Le brut de fût est bien meilleur.
