    How does this rum taste?

    Reviewers highlight the unique character of Angel‘s Half American Oak Cask from Nine Leaves, often describing it as a refreshing break from traditional rums, thanks to its blend of plum and vanilla with subtle grape and wood notes. Many enjoy it neat, especially after letting it breathe or with a splash of water to round out its 50% ABV. Its smooth, fruit-led profile and approachable sweetness make it a standout, uncomplicated sipper with a distinct Japanese twist that appeals to both seasoned and new rum fans.

    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
