"#4840 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, light vegetal, faint nutts, light banana, light mint, faint iodine, light honey. Palate Medium intense, fruits, light honey, light citrus, light vegetal, light floral, sugarcane, light banana, faint coconut. Finish Long and warm, fruits, citrus, light coconut, faint ginger, medium spicy, 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 présente des fruits tropicaux, de la banane et des fruits secs. Du végétal amène de la fraîcheur. De la vivacité en bouche, puis les fruits montent en puissance. Un petit creux en bouche, l’alcool se remarque un peu, puis les fruits secs persistent en finale. Un beau Nine Leaves mais bien moins intéressant, à mon goût, que le 10 ans d’âge."

"Whisky Live Paris 2024 (trade fair evaluation, only overall rating and personal recommendation to buy): Again, the special profile of the whole Nine Leaves range present and overall the third best bottling of it. But I still don't have to have a bottle."
