How does this rum taste?
Most love its clean plum-vanilla fruit and whisky/grappa-like twist; some find it rough, short or a bit flat. Overall viewed as a solid, distinctive Japanese molasses rum.
If you enjoy lighter pot still rums or young whiskies and want something different from Jamaica or Guyana, this gives you that fruity plum-vanilla twist without becoming too demanding.
Those sensitive to 50% ABV heat, fans of very sweet or heavily funky rums, or anyone expecting deep oak richness from much older, longer-aged bottlings.

You can always taste a Nine Leaves and recognize it immediately. This unique selling point also has the Angel's Half. In this case, however, I think that it still has a plus: a pleasing sweetness even in the nose, which should make this rum, which is still occasionally available in specialized stores, also appear accessible to broader pleasure groups. Conclusion: Uncomplicated easy sipper.
Tastingnotizen 05.02.2016 mit Dirk Becker auf der Hanse Spirit: Ich hab ein Wort Fett auf den Notizen: Grappa. Ich erinnere mich noch heute war komplett anders als alles andere was ich zuvor getrunken hatte. Blind wäre es für mich ein Grappa gewesen. Hat mir gar nicht gefallen, war mir zu ruppig. Würde ihn heute zum Vergleich noch mal probieren ;)
Another good rum from the house of Nine Leaves which is away from the whole Jamaica and Guyana rum I usually drink so a very successful change.
Ho bevuto tanti nine leaves, anche alcuni samples di single cask che devono ancora uscire, ma questo è a mio parere è davvero troppo squilibrato, tanto troppo alcool slegato dal resto
