Rum Vieux Agricole Karukera

The Rum Vieux Agricole Karukera is a French style rum agricole produced in the town of Sainte-Marie, Guadeloupe, the first place where Christopher Columbus touched down in the exploratory trip of 1493. Aged at least 3 years in small ex-Bourbon barrels, it shows a light amber color. At the nose the aroma is dominated by the fragrance of cane sugar, opening then to citrus, vanilla and roasting. The taste is strong but gentle, with a particularly long-lasting aromatic strength that confirms the first olfactory impressions of caramel and vanilla, while the final shows a pleasant spicy side. Winner of a gold medal at the 2014 World Competition of Brussels, this agricultural rum is an excellent introduction to a great rum distillery as Karukera.
