Review by Czech Rum porter
Really the most interesting Karukera I've ever drunk. Alcohol perfectly integrated, dense rhum, heavy but unforgettable👍
Review by N’ours
Rhum puissant en empyreumatique.
Review by Frank
Speziell und dadurch doch interessant… Nase: als erstes überrascht ein muffiger, schwefeliger Geruch, der sich mit Kakao-Bohnen, Vanille, Kaffee und Nougat doch zu einem harmonischen Ganzen verbindet. Er wirkt einerseits wurzelig, kräuterig mit getrockneten Pilzen und andererseits würzig-fruchtig, mit Kümmel und Schokorosinen. Anders find ich gut. 8,2 Gaumen: auch wieder anders. Hat einen durchaus süßen Antritt und kommt dann wieder mit dem Schwefel und viel malziger Schokolade. Würzig mit Salz, Kümmel und Lakritze, Tonkabohne und Mokka mit Nougat und etwas Honig. Hinten pflanzlich mit Safran. Irgendwie doch gut. 8,4 Glaube schon, dass sich hier die Geister scheiden. Ich finde diese deutliche Schwefel-Schoko-Note irgendwie andersartig-gut.
Review by Simon Leroux
Un rhum très atypique, puissant et original. Un ovni à découvrir pour les amateurs d'agricole.
Review by Jakob
Stärkster Ausreisser aus den verkosteten Karukeras für mich, insbesondere aufgrund der überraschend prägnanten Rauchigkeit. Mir etwas zu viel, aber wem das gefällt, der ist hier gegebenenfalls richtig aufgehoben.
Review by Johannes
Deutliche Sherry-Noten. Gefällt mir aber sehr gut!
Review by mto75
Sehr ungewöhnliche Nase mit Limette, grüner Paprika, und etwas das in Richtung Sauerampfer geht, vielleicht auch Kupfer (wie einige beschreiben). Der Gaumen ist nussig-holzig. Im Hintergrund etwas Richtung Plastik oder Wachs. Ziemlich intensiv das Teil, aber meinen Geschmack trifft er leider nicht so ganz.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Un rhum qui n'est pas à mon goût. Trop sombre, trop souffré. Seule la finale équilibre un peu l'ensemble.
Review by Thunderbird
The palate can still convince the best with this Karukera. If it still captivates with fruit, herbs, leather and waxes, the palate loses all along the line. Burnt mocha, wood and pepper, as well as some sulfurous artificial aroma spread unpleasant... the finish is not much better!
