Karukera 2011 Sherry Cask Rum / Velier 70th

70cl / 54.1% – Part of the Four Daughters range, bottled in honour of Velier’s 70th birthday, this bottling of Karukera rum from Guadeloupe is named ‘For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her’ after the Simon and Garfunkel song. It was distilled in 2011 and aged for six years in a sherry cask, before bottling 2017 at cask strength. It’s incredibly aromatic and complex, with fresh fruit and mineral tones balanced against rich tobacco and liquorice.
