Bought this Rhum from Catawiki to a very good price together with some other bottles.
Karukera is produced by the Esperance distillery in Guadeloupe that also produces Longuetau.
Karukera is the name the indigenous people called their island which means 'The island of beautiful waters'.
It’s distilled in the distillery’s column still, but the details how it has been aged differs, some says for seven years in French bourbon and cognac barrels others says five years in new charred barrels. Maybe there are two different ones.
The aroma is fruity, spicy with hints of vanilla and citrus.
The taste is fruity, spicy, smoky and oaky with hints of cloves, nutmeg and almonds.
The finish is medium long that’s spicy with some sweetness.
Overall a super smooth and round Rhum that probably is a very good introduction to Agricole from Guadeloupe.
Picture: My opened bottle with a poured glass in my private rum bar.

Smells like tobacco.
Nice color, but to much "Pot Still" taste for me.

Lehká medově-květinová vůně, připomíná koňak. Po pár minutách se ve skleničce rozvíjí další paleta chutí. Na nose příjemný rum. V chutí mi přišel dost plochý a lehký. 79 bodů.

Tento rhum dozrával v silně vypálených dubových sudech a proto jsem čekal zemitý, drsnější agricole. Úplně tak to ale není. Vůně je plná ne výrazné, ale těžké ovocné sladkosti a chuť na typickém Karukera základu přinese hodně vanilku i čokoládu. I přes kratší konec jsem velmi spokojený.

Goût de brûlé trop important. Ce goût est recherché à dessein par le séjour quelques semaines dans de tels fûts. Mais le résultat est trop puissant. Est clairement à destination de la clientèle américaine qui apprécie souvent ce goût. A déconseiller aux amateurs de rhums antillais plus subtils.
