How does this rum taste?
The Karukera Velier Single Cask 2008 from Guadeloupe is a limited-release rum, expertly distilled using sugarcane juice with a column still and aged for 9 years. With only 299 bottles produced, it features a robust ABV of 58.4%. Tasting notes reveal a sweet, fresh aroma complemented by hints of pear and vanilla, transitioning into roasted, spicy, honey, and caramel flavors. Diverse user feedback indicates a well-integrated alcoholic warmth and complex profile with roasted notes and spice predominating on the palate. While praised for its unique blend of honey and spice, some find it slightly one-sided with a bitter aftertaste.

Farbe: Altgold Geruch: Zurückhaltend süß mit schwachen pflanzlichen Aromen. Dabei insgesamt weniger frisch und süß als Cask No. 26. Riecht fruchtig nach Ananas, Birne und gekochter Banane. Zudem Eichenholz und Honig. Geschmack: Zu Beginn sehr kräftig und wenig süß. Beim Schlucken würzig-scharf, dabei intensiv mit viel Honig sowie kandierten Früchten, Karamell und Tabak. Abgang: Honig, schön würzig, kräftig und lang. Trocken-holzig im Nachgeschmack. Fazit: Klasse Rum, in etwa auf dem gleichen Niveau wie das Schwesterfass No. 26. 89 Punkte
Al naso frutti secchi(datteri, prugne) e non(pere sopratutto, ma anche qualcosa di tropicale), pelle, zucchero bruciato, tabacco e legno. Molto interessante! Al palato è caldo, mielato, avvolgente con datteri, caramello salato, floreale, lieve tostatura, pelle, tabacco, violetta, pepato con un finale abbastanza persistente. Una bevuta Guadaloupiana molto buona e affascinante, grazie a Dr.Django. Il voto oscilla tra 8.7 e 8.8
A very nice single barrel with a warm and fruity profile. Lightly spicy and a very long finish.
Etwas bitter und ordentlich würzig. Kein Rum für den nüchternen Gaumen. Holz, getrocknete Früchte, dezente Süsse. Mit Wasser wird er wesentlich gefälliger.
