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.

I still like the nose a little better than the Encrypted III, the IV comes with honey sweetness, pastry and buttercream, the III on the other hand is a little nuttier, more with a sour (red wine) impact.

In the nose initially restrained, overripe sweet banana, slightly acidic (sake)!On the palate sweet / sour plum, creamy, later slightly woody and bitter that continues dry and creamy in the finish!In contrast to the III considerably more elegant, riper and the better choice.

VIP Tasting at the 10th GRFJust briefly...Nose: fruity, clearly bourbon and sherry, red winePalate: very sweet and fruity at first, slightly acid. Quite complex. Sherry unfortunately overpowers

Nase: sehr einladend, ich fühle mich an Rotwein erinnert! Dominierend ist für mich Bourbon und Vanille. Mund: zuerst Holz/Fass, dann Vanille, Banane und Nuss und dann kommen die Tannine und es wird bitter. Abgang: ebenfalls vom Fass beherrscht. Erinnert stark an einem milden Whisky und bleibt relativ lang, ein guter Rum aber nicht mehr.

Encrypted II mixed with Encrypted IV secrets in the blend. Great further development of the Encrypted Series.

for me the winner today. perhaps a little less complex than the 3er but just a little rounder to my sensation. the bourbon note does him good. am overall positively surprised by Nine Leaves after I had found less access to the Clear.
