For 60th anniversary, LMDW has selected 150 exclusive bottlings all around the world. This bottling is one of them!

Nestled at the foot of the Soufrière mountain range, the Marquisat de Sainte-Marie estate produces Karukera rum in the Esperance distillery (the oldest one on Guadeloupe). It is made from a single variety of sugar cane, blue cane. Remarkably classical, this 2008 bottling unfurls – with a huge amount of conviction and pride – the full extent of its incredibly complex and rich aromatic and gustatory palette. Its delicate minerality forms the backbone of this rum and enables it to maintain a huge amount of freshness and energy throughout the tasting.

Profile: Heady, the nose is characterised by candied oranges, sugar cane and lime blossom honey. It becomes earthy, spicy and floral (violet). The nose’s floral register highlights the palate’s pleasant minerality. Grows increasingly exotic (banana) and herbal (rosemary).
