Minoki Mizunara Japanese Rum 40%

RX13242 Good Under 50€

“Decent experiment with vanilla notes, but overall thin and flat.”

The Minoki Mizunara Japanese Rum offers a distinctive experience with its notable Mizunara cask influence. Aromas of toffee, tobacco, smoky vanilla, and oak create an inviting nose. On the palate, you'll find vanilla, roasted, woody, and chocolate flavors, complemented by a subtle hint of alcohol. While some users noted it to be slightly thin, many appreciated the long dark chocolate finish. This rum is ideal for tiki cocktails, where its unique wood finish adds depth to the mix. If you enjoy experimenting with different cask finishes, this rum, despite its youth and slight flatness, provides an intriguing dive into Mizunara's characteristics. Experience the harmonious fusion of Japanese craftsmanship and exotic flavors.

“Diesen muss ich nochmal in Ruhe nachverkosten und genau analysieren. Für 40% denoch eine positive Überraschung. Nettes Experiment mit diesem Fass, wirkt aber leider ein wenig dünn. Aber danke an Serge, dass ich mal wieder einen Rum außerhalb der Range probieren konnte.”

“Very young, lots of vanillin from an apparently fresh Mizunara wooden barrel. Unfortunately a little flat, little taste of its own.”

“High hopes for this since I love mizunara casks in general. Super elegant finishes that seldomly disappointed. Unfortunately there is not much of this here to be found. I barely understand why this is even advertised as much. Still an okay expression”

“I'm actually a big mizunara fan, but here you can only find woody, acidic tones. Overall, it just seems a bit thin and flat with too many tannins. The alcohol is also not really well integrated. There is virtually nothing to be tasted here of the otherwise infamous mizunara barrel, which usually brings in lots of pepper, ginger and tropical spice and fruit notes. What a pity!”

“Hm ... in my opinion a faceless column still rum without much flavor, in which the Mizunara barrel almost already forms the highlight 😂 mine is not. Use the bottle mostly for tiki cocktails, where I replace with it the "puertorican gold rum" and thus contribute by the wood finish something more to the drink.”

“A mediocre rum, relatively flat and watery for my taste, with a dark chocolate lingering long in the aftertaste, making it the only highlight.”

“In my opinion the rum itself tastes like a normal rum, nothing fancy. But I do like the long dark chocolate finish. For me it's a ok pick, I drank a lot worse one's. But I think I won't buy it again”

“Smell is not bad with a promise to try something good. Unfortunately the promise remains unfulfilled. The taste is watered, uninteresting with the tones of vanilla.”
