How does this rum taste?
Enigmatic and layered, the "Encrypted IV" Rum from Japan's Nine Leaves distillery is highlighted by its complex aroma profile, with notes of honey, sake, and bourbon. Aged for five years and boasting a robust 58% ABV, it offers a nutty, honeyed taste with woody and cocoa undertones. Users commend its surprising craftsmanship and evolving flavors, offering both depth and sophistication. The rum’s slight fruitiness is complemented by hints of marzipan. However, some find the almond presence in both aroma and taste less appealing. This rum captures the distinct Japanese artistry in spirit-making, delivering a uniquely captivating experience to its tasters.

Encrypted II mixed with Encrypted IV secrets in the blend. Great further development of the Encrypted Series.
Very unique and very complex. You can discover something new with every glass.
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.
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.
