Aroma visualization from community tastings
Baie des Trésors Karakoli 2020
Most tasters land in the same place: well made, very woody, and heavy on bourbon-cask vanilla. One member's nose reads "as pâtissier," while a couple wish it kept the fresher grassy side of the earlier ESB batches. Underneath the oak there's fresh sugarcane, a lime-acidic edge, earth and a long dry finish. A young agricole that oak drives more than fruit.
The community says- Long dry finish
- Fresh sugarcane
- But: Very oak-forward

How does Baie des Trésors Karakoli 2020 taste?
Summarized by AI from 20 community reviews.
Young, very woody bourbon-cask agricole Consistently rated well and easy to drink, though the bourbon-cask oak dominates. Some prefer the fresher earlier batches; most still find it dry, herbal and long.

#5945 09.11.2025 Having an online tasting with old friends covering, Denmark, Singapore, New Zealand and China. Hopefully we will all meet up in the beginning of the new year. Price to quality is usually always good but this distiller. This one is no exception. A fresh grassy releas with some nice fruits, vegetal and light salty notes. There is also some cherry anf floral notes hidden in there.

Very interesting dégustation - nose as pâtissier - quite easy to drink and pleasant
Review by TheJackDrop
Tasted at multiverresspirits in Lyon: nothing very remarkable here, it's well made.
Review by Julien Ries
A good typical agricole rum from Martinique, with quite a bit of wood and pepper on the nose. Its years in American oak barrels have brought vanilla without taking away the fresh sugarcane. The spices and woodiness linger for a while on the palate.
Review by Vincent D
Tasted at the Rhum Fest Paris 2026. I particularly liked the first ESB from Baie des Trésors and this new batch from Karakoli follows well. Unfortunately, the very fresh side of the ESB is lost but we gain a very nice agricole.
Review by Jean Louisss
Barrel very marked after opening the bottle. You really smell the bourbon full on the nose. Beyond that, the rum remains very good with interesting notes of fat, wood, and fresh cane.
Review by François Delmotte
Clearly different from the Fruits des Pluies range - Brin d'amour which are on wet canes. Here we are much more in the dry, woody less fresh and herbaceous. On the nose: cane, earthy, wood. On the palate: wood, agricole, sugar cane, fresh, tangy with a hint of lime. Quite strong in alcohol and dry. Finish: very nice length. Nice tasting reflecting what Baie des Trésors has produced! Even though I prefer their wet cane range, the aging of their Fleur du Vent is still a great success!
Review by Renato
An extremely woody young rum. A cane that has benefited from the sun. It's a bit like America in the tropics. The result is close to dynamic aging.
Review by Pascal Gwada
Good empyreumatic length with power. At BdT, CRG rum tour 2025. Much better than the 2019.
Review by Fasen
The wood has left its mark on the juice!
Review by Bobhub
No standout note but very good, not aggressive.
