"#4838 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Fresh, round, sugarcane, faint salty, faint olive, spice, faint coconut, faint mint. Palate Warm, round, fruits, light sugarcane, faint citrus, light vegetal, medium spicy, faint orange, Finish Medium long, fresh, warm, fruity, light sugarcane, light spicy, light citrus, light floral. These bottles Mark the end of Nine Leaves in Japan and it's pretty sad because he really knew how to make and mature rum. If you get the chance you should try out the five releases which are pretty similar and still pretty different."

"Un rhum dégusté au Whisky Live à Paris en 2024. Le nez est ample et profond avec des fruits trop mûrs et des fruits secs mais aussi de la fraîcheur et du végétal. L’entrée en bouche est douce, puis l’alcool monte en puissance, puis les fruits et le côté épicé. Une belle évolutivité ici. La finale est longue avec une petite acidité. Indubitablement le meilleur Nine Leaves que j’ai eu dans mon verre et ici aucun faux goût."

"Whisky Live Paris 2024 trade fair tasting. Great sweetness paired with heavy fruit and warm spicy notes. Extremely round, even if the alcohol is present - but by no means unpleasant. Probably the best from Nine Leaves to date."

"Whisky Live Paris 2024 (Messebewertung, nur Gesamtnote und persönliche Kaufempfehlung): Sehr lecker, sehr eigenes Profil an der Nase und am Gaumen (kommt es von dem speziellen Zucker?). Intensiv, würzig, süß. Hätte sehr gerne eine Flasche davon.."
