Velier Karukera Japoniani Rhum Vieux Agricole 2009
Highly praised dry, wine‑tinged agricole with powerful yet well‑integrated alcohol, layered red fruits, sugarcane and spice. Considered one of the standouts of the Japoniani Karukera series.
Agricole fans who enjoy dry, tannic, wine‑influenced rums at cask strength, with plenty of oak, spice and red‑fruit complexity to dissect slowly.

How does this rum taste?
Dry, complex, wine‑driven agricole
If you enjoy serious aged agricoles or wine‑influenced rums, this takes those dry red‑fruit and oak notes up a notch while keeping the cane character intact.
Those new to rum, sensitive to high ABV, or who prefer sweet, soft profiles over dry, grassy sugarcane and firm tannins.
A great rum. A great nose, where the alcohol serves the aromas. The mouth is lively and complicated to decipher, but very successful. At the level of the Jamaicans.

Another really good rum finished by Velier. The Agricole notes are there just more subtle than usual. On the other hand the fruit, spice and wood flourish on the profile with a hint of coffee and chocolate. I like the warmth on the palate that slowly dissipates and sets free the other notes.
A rum that really surprised me!
Toller schwerer Rum. Hat alles was Ich mir wünsche. Vielleicht im Abgang etwas zu eindimensional, sonst hätte es eine 90 oder mehr gegeben. Aber ansonsten zum reinknien.
