    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love its vibrant, agricole/clairin‑like character: fresh sugarcane and citrus lead, wrapped in herbal, floral and saline notes. Despite 62%, many find it creamy with a long, warming finish. Enjoyed neat and praised in Ti’ punch or cocktails. A popular pick with 59 reviews, this limited Japanese release from Nine Leaves (Velier, 950 bottles) earns high marks for complexity and personality.

    22.03.2025 Retasting at Whisky Watcher tasting. ---------------------- 4842 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 Complex, fruity, light honey, floral, sugarcane, light vegetal, anise, light medicinal. Palate Round, medium intense, fresh, sugarcane, fruity, light citrus, faint iodine, faint salt, light nutts. Finish Long and warm, sugarcane, light nutts, light citrus, light floral, light herbal. 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.

    Well, the last one I picked up from the series was unaged. Not bad in principle, but unfortunately nothing out of the ordinary that triggers a fomo in me. I flinched briefly the other day when it popped up again at LMDW, but I think the price is a bit too high for the 90€. But I can imagine that it can do something as a mixer.

    Tastes like a plum brandy. Or a yeast spirit from a southern German brewery. Compared to other high-class white rums, this one comes off as very unbalanced.

    Exceptionally good white rum! I definitely need a bottle of this in the house bar.
