Top review from Jakob:
"Whisky Live Paris 2024 trade fair tasting. Great sweetness paired with heavy fruit and warm spicy notes. Extremely round, even if the alcohol is present - but by no means unpleasant. Probably the best from Nine Leaves to date."

"Whisky Live Paris 2024 (Messebewertung, nur Gesamtnote und persönliche Kaufempfehlung): Auch hier das spezielle Profil der ganzen Nine Leaves Reihe vorhanden und insgesamt die drittbeste Abfüllung davon. Muss ich aber trotzdem keine Flasche haben."

Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"A Japanese rum as strange as it is singular. At first, the nose is quite pleasant and varied, drawing on the Asian roots of sake and whisky, with rather original spicy notes of sesame and umami, before the roundness of the rum infuses a little roundness into a roasted, woody, dried and nutty profile. Then an odor that's hard to describe (akin to the musk or sulfur some might describe) assails the nostrils with a certain power. An atypical profile, to be sure, and a little unsettling. On the palate, the profile retains much of its eccentricity, with typical Asian alcohol and spiciness (umami, salty, ricey, earthy, spicy), roasted notes of nuts, prominent oak and fairly heavy dried fruits (prunes, dates). The alcohol is a little lively but well integrated overall. The finish is long, still very much imbued with this hybrid style of spices, herbs, nuts and Asian influence. A profile that's out of the ordinary, very special, even a little zany, and clearly not for everyone."

"#4842 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Complex, fruity, light honey, floral, sugarcane, light vegetal, anise, light medicinal. Palate Round, medium intense, fresh, sugarcane, fruity, light citrus, faint iodine, faint salt, light nutts. Finish Long and warm, sugarcane, light nutts, light citrus, light floral, light herbal. These bottles Mark the end of Nine Leaves in Japan and it's pretty sad because he really knew how to make and mature rum. If you get the chance you should try out the five releases which are pretty similar and still pretty different."

"This is one of the bottles I got today and I ordered it because I was curious. My wife is Japanese and this I have tried good spirits from Japan. This rum, despite its young age, was a big surprise. There is some sake and wine to it especially if rested for 15-20 minutes. Lightly fruity with barrel and nuts. There is a light hint of marzipan and chokolate on the palate. "

"Exciting stuff! Nose reminiscent of a mixture of cognac and foursquare rum. Taste could be for me an absolutely horny cask strength cognac or even Armagnac, barely ticks, very harmonious, strong and tasty! Please more of it Japan!🙌🏼🇯🇵😁🤤 Has at the 2nd tasting something of shochu or sake."

Top review from cigares :
"Un nez assez neutre avec un côté clairement saké et massepain. On ne sent pas les watts. La bouche est étonnement douce avec peu d’arômes et une persistance aromatique autour du saké et un côté pâtissier, légèrement fumé et herbacé. La finale est bien courte. Un rhum à 50%, trop sec et pas assez généreux pour être un rhum qui pourrait me plaire."
