Karukera Réserve Spéciale Rhum Vieux Agricole
Drinkers who already enjoy aged agricole and want an everyday bottle will feel at home here. Expect dry sugarcane, young oak and a spicy, medium-fruity middle — apricot, grapefruit, a little chocolate and nutty notes in the empty glass. Several tasters call it pleasant but a touch diluted, with a short finish. A step up from the Karukera Gold, according to one member.
The community says- Dry sugarcane note
- Spicy fruit middle

How does Karukera Réserve Spéciale Rhum Vieux Agricole taste?
Aggregated from 56 community reviews.
Easy dry-sugarcane agricole, short finish Most find it a nice, easygoing aged agricole with good aromas — but several wish it were less diluted, and the finish runs short. Pleasant rather than exciting.

Sehr guter Rum
Review by French_Rhumeur
Gourmand, très agréable ! Rhum riche et complet. Très joli 👌
Review by MarcT
A nice improvement to the Karukera Gold I had in comparison. It is a bit more balanced, more creamy but has the same dry sugarcane note accompanied by wood.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
First off the price matches what you get. A medium fruity rum with a warm/spicy touch on the palate. I like the light nutty notes and the empty glass reveals even stronger notes of chocolate and wood.

Un petit rhum sans grand relief mais bon quand même. Après c est très court en fin de bouche dommage
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
07.2024 Erster Eindruck: fruchtig, holzig Nase: reicher Cocktail an Früchten, weich, warm, Gras Gaumen: scharf, adstringierend, holzig Abgang: mittelkurz, unbeeindrucken Gesamteindruck: allein für die Komplexität der Aromen in der Nase gibt’s die 7,0 – ansonsten sind gereifte Agricoles nicht mein Ding. 2018 Einer meiner ersten Agricoles, als Station auf der Trinkreise durch Dave Brooms „Rum – the Manual“. Hat mir damals nicht gefallen.
Review by passlemix
En bouche comme au nez : abricot, pamplemousse, un peu d'épices, le tout dans un registre assez acide mais ce n'est pas une acidité très agréable (en comparaison par exemple a l'acidité de certains Versailles qui elle est bien plus sympa). Quelques flashs d'amande. Un rhum qui manque de corps à mon sens avec une finale quasi inexistante. Pas trop mon truc. A noter quand même que la bouteille qui m'a été proposé était ouverte depuis 1 an, l'oxydation l'a peut-être un peu anéanti... J'essaierai de le regouter à l'occasion.
