The Karukera Black Edition Alligator 45% 1000ml is a remarkable agricultural rum from the renowned Karukera distillery in Guadeloupe. This unique rum is distilled from sugar cane juice using a column still and aged for 4 years in French oak barrels. The aging process includes a unique step where the rum is transferred to extremely burnt new oak barrels, giving the texture an alligator-like quality.
The Black Edition Alligator Rum boasts a fascinating blend of flavors and aromas, with woody, spicy, and floral notes on the nose. The taste profile features a bold combination of toasted, roasted, and torrefied elements, matched with lovely floral, fruity, and toffee notes. The rum offers a remarkable taste experience with woody, coffee, spice, charred, and leather tones.
The rum's unique character is characterized by its atypical profile, which features a blend of toasted, roasted, and torrefied elements with a distinct freshness and a deep minty, almost resinous note. The rum is well-balanced, easy-to-drink, and perfect for introducing you to the world of agricole rums.
This limited edition rum is bottled at 45% without cold filtration and is a permanent expression of the Karukera range. The name of this expression comes from the particular method of charring (strong heat #4) of new French oak barrels in which it has been partially aged.
