How does this rum taste?
The "Single Cask" rum from Guadeloupe's Karukera distillery offers a compelling profile forged from sugar cane juice and crafted in column stills. Aged for 4 years, this limited release of only 480 bottles is celebrated for its interplay of vanilla, nutty, and dark chocolate notes. Notably cask strength at 54.3% ABV, the rum's nose presents a balance of vanilla and nutty aromas with earthy undertones of sugarcane and grass. Taste-wise, it leans on vanilla and walnut flavors, accented by hints of caramel. User feedback lauds its refined elegance and harmonious integration of alcohol but notes a slight lack in complexity and depth. This rum embodies a quintessential agricole character, making it appealing for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Nose of glue, spices and cask. The palate is much more gourmand, very fruity, with beautiful notes of caramel, sugar in various forms, and sweet spices. Citrus fruits take on an increasingly important role as the tasting progresses. Vanilla, caramel and spices accompany citrus on a long finish.
Fine, elegant, fruity
Très belle couleur, nez poudre à cannon très prononcé, rondeur résiduelle. Bouche sèche, très équilibrée, acidulée qui finit sur le caramel, très agréable ! Finale chaude
One of 6 samples I brought for a trip to Turkey. From the first go, this didn't register with me as an agricole in the nose. Vanilla, and a faint, grassy sweetness. In the notes I got sugarcane, vanilla and woody notes
