Overall: Karukera Vieux Agricole is a complex rum that offers a delightful interplay of intense aromas, spicy and earthy flavors, and a lingering finish with sweet, woody, and spicy notes.
This relatively young Karukera rum has much to offer, particularly on the nose, with a balance of woody, toasted, fruity (citrus, dried fruits, coconut), spicy, and indulgent notes of cocoa and mocha, rounded off by unexpected floral hints. It is equally pleasant on the palate, with a fruity profile complemented by spices, a touch of cocoa, and a slightly charred toastiness that adds a dry note. The finish is warm and spicy, with nutty and roasted notes. Although some reviewers felt it could use a bit more body, it is overall a well-crafted and enjoyable rum.
