Karukera 2014 Rhum Vieux Agricole Guadeloupe Single Cask Brandy de Sherry 7yo is a bold and intriguing expression from the esteemed Karukera distillery in Guadeloupe. Distilled in 2014 and aged for 7 years, this rum boasts an impressive 65.1% ABV. It is crafted from a single cask, previously used for brandy de sherry, which imparts an array of nuanced flavors and aromas. Upon opening, the initial nose is dominated by aggressive alcohol which conceals some of the more subtle cherry kernel aromas. As the rum breathes, a blend of sherry notes, woody and spicy aromas, with a faint touch of sulfur, begins to emerge. On the palate, the attack is strongly alcoholic and somewhat unintegrated. The rich sherry and woody flavors are prominent, accompanied by spicy notes and an underlying burn. Fruity undertones, particularly cherry, contribute to a complex taste profile, complemented by a lingering brandy-like sweetness. The finish is spicy and enduring, featuring echoes of sherry, burnt sugar, chocolate, and cherry. Although divisive in its profile, Karukera 2014 offers a unique experience that reflects its robust and daring character.
