"#4841 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 Medium intense, fruity, prunes, light apple, light wood, faint smoke, sugarcane, light medicinal, faint mint. Palate Warm, light wood, herbal, light vegetal, fresh, faint salt, sugarcane, faint olive, fruity. Finish Medium to long, light wood, fresh, sugarcane, spice, light mint, faint citrus. 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."

"Whisky Live Paris 2024 (Messebewertung, nur Gesamtnote und persönliche Kaufempfehlung): Auch hier das spezielle Profil der gesamten Nine Leaves Reihe vorhanden, aber alles weniger intensiv und stimmig. Muss ich keine Flasche kaufen."

"Dégusté au Whisky Live Paris 2024 - notes de dégustations rapides, vous êtes prévenus. Encore un twit avec ce fût qui ajout des notes qui m'étaient inconnues. Manque de notes de degustation, assez herbacé et médicinal à mon souvenir."
