Karukera L'Intense 2018

Sip it neat or build a ti-punch — this Guadeloupe blanc agricole works both ways. Expect grass, lemon and fresh sugarcane up front, with a floral, peppery bite and a hint of vanilla custard. At 59.9% the alcohol is surprisingly well-integrated, and one taster even caught banana when it opened up. The nose reads a touch thin, but the palate and long, minty finish carry it.

The community says
  • Fresh grass and citrus
  • Well-integrated alcohol
  • But: Slightly thin nose

Summarized by AI from community reviews.

Grassy, citrus-forward blanc agricole for ti-punch Fans of white agricole rate it well — grassy, citrusy and floral with a warm, long finish. The alcohol sits nicely for the strength, though the nose comes off a little light.

8.3/10

This Karukera Agricole from Guadeloupe was in slot #13 in my 2025 advent calendar. It’s a rum with a little thin nose, but with a great taste and finish. The nose is fruity and floral with scents of lemon, banana, grass and vanilla. At the palate it’s intense, soft, smooth, complex, fruity, spicy and floral with flavors of lemon, banana, pepper, sugarcane and mint. The finish is long, dry and minty.

7.6/10

Very vegetal but with a nice subtlety. There are also some citrus notes, potpourri giving a floral side, and a little spicy kick on the tongue reminiscent of chili. Beautiful integration of the alcohol.
