Christian de Montaguère Karukera Single Cask 10ème Anniversaire Christian De Montaguère
Most love its complex sherry, cocoa and herbal depth; critics find it too dark, sulphurous and aggressive. Consensus: a very characterful, divisive agricole for adventurous drinkers, not an all-round crowd-pleaser.
Adventurous agricole fans and sherry-cask lovers who enjoy dark, roasted, slightly smoky profiles with cocoa, herbs, sulphur and big cask-strength intensity.

How does this rum taste?
Dark, sulphury, sherry‑driven agricole power
If you enjoy intense sherry casks and don’t mind sulphur in whisky or rum, this Karukera is a fascinating detour; if you prefer clean, bright agricoles, it will likely feel too dark.
Beginners, those sensitive to 65% ABV, and drinkers who dislike sulphur, smoky-dark notes or expect a light, fruity, classic Guadeloupe agricole style.

Really the most interesting Karukera I've ever drunk. Alcohol perfectly integrated, dense rhum, heavy but unforgettable👍
Rhum puissant en empyreumatique.
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.
Un rhum très atypique, puissant et original. Un ovni à découvrir pour les amateurs d'agricole.
