Karukera Rhum Vieux Agricole Black Edition Alligator 0.7L

Product information "Karukera Rhum Vieux Agricole Black Edition Alligator 0.7L"

Karukera is synonymous with Rhum Agricole from Guadeloupe and combines the island’s tradition with meticulous aging and bottling at the Marquisat de Sainte-Marie estate. The Black Edition is dedicated to a special type of barrel aging. The Karukera Rhum Vieux Agricole Black Edition Alligator is first aged for four years in French oak barrels that previously held cognac. The cuvée is then finished for several months in new, heavily charred oak barrels. This charring process, known as “Alligator,” gives the wood a dark, glossy, and cracked surface reminiscent of alligator skin. On the nose, the rum initially presents as fresh and woody, with notes of orange peel and a hint of lemon, followed by more pronounced wood and toasted notes. On the palate, woody notes blend with dried fruits, accompanied by coriander seeds, cinnamon, and pepper, as well as a subtle smoky note. Distinct roasted aromas linger in the finish. The Black Edition Alligator can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks and pairs equally well with dark chocolate and coffee- or vanilla-based desserts.
