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."

Top review from Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓:
"Vermutlich der seltenste Nine Leaves. Und der geheimnisvollste. Wenn man den im Glas hat, weiß man gleich, dass die Nine-Leaves-Stunde geschlagen hat. Unverwechselbar mit Rum anderer Destillerien, Alleinstellungsmerkmal. Na gut, unter anderen Rums der (nunmehr leider abgeschlossenen!) Nine-Leaves-Range nicht herauszuriechen oder -zuschmecken. Aber das macht nichts, die sind eigentlich alle durch die Bank gut. Mir schmeckt der Reverse jedenfalls, auch wenn die anderen Mitkoster meinen Sake-Eindruck nicht teilen. 😉 Ich bin froh, noch eine dieser raren Flaschen zu besitzen (seinerzeit in einem Tabakladen im Norden Berlins entdeckt)."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"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. "

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."
