“The quite long finish goes the same way as at the palate. This brand was founded 2002 when Guillaume Drouin teamed up with Francois Longueteau at the Esperance/Longueteau Distillery to create an Agricole made from blue cane. Karukera is by the way the Carib’s name on Guadeloupe.”

“Just had a nice tasting of 6 rums and here's one of them. A bit dry but tastes really nice. Well balanced, complex and makes you feel like you're in heaven. The price to quality of this rum is very good. A really nice rum from France!”

“Now we are in the ~200€ league of Karukera. Characteristically subtle nose, coy even. But I have already learnt that just as you do not judge a book by its cover, do not judge a Karukera by its nose. Palate holds warm spices for days, perfectly integrated alchohol, a "washing over you" sensation that makes the flavors more akin to a coherent wave than just shots here and there. The characteristic dry and bitter note does not need to play balancer but is just lazily hanging in the background and it all works quite well without it having to work hard to create interest. A confident, mature, and full-bodied rum. No gimmicks, just very high quality Agricole goodness.”
