An agricultural rum brut de fût that shows that even with a young age the complexity and the aromas can be there. The nose is very exuberant, between the vegetal notes that bring freshness, the aromas of coffee, chocolate, nuts and spices that give body and the fruity notes that round off the angles, the mixture of flavors is balanced and deep. The attack in the mouth is dry but very round, the wood and spicy notes blending perfectly with the tobacco and tropical fruit notes. The caramel and herbaceous notes are discreet but complete the aromatic profile well. The relatively long finish extends the pleasure with peppery, earthy and toasty notes. A very solid Karukera, complex, tasty and fresh.
Considering the age of this rum I'd say they did a really good job and the price is also really good. The nose is fruity with wood, spices, nuts caramel and a light earthy note. Leave to rest to get the full experience. The palate is fruity with wood, spices, nuts, chocolate and roasted tobacco. The finish is medium to long with wood, dried fruit and chocolate. After an hour the empty glass had a wonderful nose.
For such a young Agricole it tastes extremely mature with abundant flavors! A real positive surprise!Also at the second tasting ... absolutely top and super PLV
Very nutty in the nose, in the mouth join herbal notes to it.After the first taste, however, I am not yet convinced that the flavor profile is really what for me. Second tasting confirms the impression, exciting, well done, but not quite my case.
