Empyrhum #1 champions the art of fire and wood in Karukera’s portfolio with an experimental agricole rum from blue sugarcane, aged for more than three years in triple toasted French oak.
The nose opens with delicate peat smoke, soft medicinal whispers, and dried grass, evoking a quiet campfire. On the palate, it feels rich and full-bodied, layered with smoky undertones and a gentle warmth from the oak. The finish is long, lingering on peaty, cindery notes that feel almost whisky-like in their restraint. Smoky, refined, and intriguingly introspective, this is an agricole rum that brims with elegant embers.
94Among the whiskies tested in blind tastings and reviews throughout the year, those scoring the best get reselected. These products were then tried once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The only indication on the sample concerns the ABV content: a red mark states that the product has an ABV higher than 50% (100° proof). The test results are then compared, and the TOP 10 is made.
