How does this rum taste?
RumX members praise this 2009, 11-year Karukera distillate selected by Velier for its complex balance of red fruit and orange over oak and warm spice. Aromas of nutmeg, chocolate and barrel lead to a woody, grape-tinged palate with clear sugarcane notes. Many note the alcohol is well integrated for 58.2% and recommend time to open. With 46 reviews and a 312-bottle run, it’s a confident pick for agricole fans.

Delicious fruity spicy nose with red fruits nutmeg... Slightly peppery. On the palate very floral floral peppery ... some orange and red berries ... In the finish then somewhat bitter dry. For me, the taste doesn't quite deliver what the nose promises.
Cookie dough (reminiscent of Neisson), polish and sour cherries in one swirl. Vegetable notes and spice in the next. Almonds. A complex, multi-layered nose. Very nice. Powerful. It then packs a real punch in the mouth. Warm, spicy, cookie dough and then it warms up again from the stomach. 🔥🔥🔥 Super Agricole!!! 😊😊😊😊Many thanks to Bonn for the great sample!
Very nicely balanced on the nose with green notes, wood, allspice, apple and a little cherry liqueur. Nutmeg, cedar wood and coffee on the palate. Very good Karukera, and another top rum in the Japoniani series!
A fresh and very pleasant profile from Karukera with vegetal notes of sugarcane, but also beautiful woody notes, fruits (dried, red, grape) and sweet spices (vanilla, nutmeg) that go hand in hand with chocolate and toasty notes. The nose is balanced and complete. The attack on the palate tends towards a more agricultural, vegetal and herbaceous profile, on which the spices (cinnamon, pepper, chili) are quite lively. Toasty oak, dried and shelled fruits and caramel complete a dry, sharp but relatively complex profile. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is long, vegetal and languorous, with spices (vanilla, cinnamon, pepper), lightly toasted oak, dried fruit, sugarcane and molasses. The herbaceousness and tobacco are strong reminders of its agricultural dominance. An authentic, versatile rum that will delight lovers of full-bodied agricultural rums.
