    "Speziell und dadurch doch interessant… Nase: als erstes überrascht ein muffiger, schwefeliger Geruch, der sich mit Kakao-Bohnen, Vanille, Kaffee und Nougat doch zu einem harmonischen Ganzen verbindet. Er wirkt einerseits wurzelig, kräuterig mit getrockneten Pilzen und andererseits würzig-fruchtig, mit Kümmel und Schokorosinen. Anders find ich gut. 8,2 Gaumen: auch wieder anders. Hat einen durchaus süßen Antritt und kommt dann wieder mit dem Schwefel und viel malziger Schokolade. Würzig mit Salz, Kümmel und Lakritze, Tonkabohne und Mokka mit Nougat und etwas Honig. Hinten pflanzlich mit Safran. Irgendwie doch gut. 8,4 Glaube schon, dass sich hier die Geister scheiden. Ich finde diese deutliche Schwefel-Schoko-Note irgendwie andersartig-gut."

    "This is a rather nice version of karukera in heavy cask profile. The tannines have some sulfur in it, a bit untypical but still a pleasant experience. For what it is I like it a lot. Really potent flavours in it!"

    "Un rhum très atypique, puissant et original. Un ovni à découvrir pour les amateurs d'agricole. "

    "The palate can still convince the best with this Karukera. If it still captivates with fruit, herbs, leather and waxes, the palate loses all along the line. Burnt mocha, wood and pepper, as well as some sulfurous artificial aroma spread unpleasant... the finish is not much better!"
