Karukera 2008 fut 26 70th Velier Vol.53,4% Cl.70

Karukea Rum represents true excellence, still rooted in the artisanal traditions of distillation.

Only the finest cane is used in its production, particularly the renowned blue cane.

The Karukera 2008 Agricole Rum is the result of careful distillation and extensive aging in cask 26.

From cask no. 26, this Karukera was aged in French oak barrels at the Marquisat de Sainte Marie estate in Guadeloupe.

Distilled in 2008, it was specially selected by Luca Gargano to be bottled on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of Maison Velier.

The Karukera Single Cask 2008, selected from cask no. 26, is a rum agricole of remarkable complexity and continually evolving.

It changes in the glass as the minutes pass, offering fruity, mineral, vegetal, and empyreumatic sensations.

A barrel-proof rum that certainly never gets old and will continue to gain in value among collectors.

The Karukera Single Cask 2008, produced in 26 bottles for 70th Velier, was produced in just 253 worldwide.

Tasting Notes:

A beautiful mahogany color with copper highlights.

The nose is very rich, yet elegant and delicious: sugarcane blends with notes of candied orange, apricots, and caramelized grapes.

The flavor is very complex, swinging from exotic to mineral with disconcerting ease and seductiveness.

Notes of violet and sweet, fresh spices emerge, leading to a darker profile of licorice, nutmeg, and tobacco.
