How does this rum taste?
Dry, roasted and warmly complex
If you enjoy serious, dry agricoles like Neisson Full Proof or Guadeloupe Bellevue bottlings, this Karukera adds extra roast, wood and honeyed depth at a satisfying cask-like strength.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers who prefer sweet, easy-going rums with little bitterness or roasted wood influence.

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.
