How does this rum taste?
The "Encrypted II" rum from the Nine Leaves distillery in Japan reflects unique craftsmanship. Distilled from molasses in 2017 using a pot still, it aged for two years, offering a diverse aromatic profile dominated by sherry, wine, and vanilla notes. The taste extends to smoky, earthy, and salty influences, reminiscent of whiskey. Users appreciate its complexity and distinct flavor amalgam, noting its sherry and sake-like accents. However, the whiskey-like presence isn't universally favored, which may be polarizing. Overall, Encrypted II showcases craftsmanship with a bold and atypical rum experience that stands out among Japanese offerings, appealing to experimental palates.

Considering how young this rum is, with this complex deep profile, one would actually have to assume a magician made it from secret ingredients.
Verkostet im RumX Adventskalender. Ich war wirklich am zweifeln ob das Rum ist oder doch ein (Scotch) Whisky. Ja, da ist etwas Sherry (aber eher von der abgestandenen Sorte) und für mich ein alles erdrückender Whisky-Geschmack. Und diesen mag ich einfach überhaupt nicht. Die Tatsache dass andere das mögen und ich nicht ist in meine Bewertung bereits eingeflossen. Ich habe mein Sample nicht austrinken können / wollen aber bin mir sicher, dass der Rum andere Geschmäcker trifft. Nur meinen eben gar nicht.
29.01.2022 Going through some samples at home. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Intense, fruity, faint medicinal, metallic, faint chocolate, light glue, apple, light orange. Palate Intense, faint wood, glue, medium spicy, fruity, overripe, mango, faint smoke. Finish Medium to long, faint wood, warm, light medicinal, light apple, faint melon. Extra note. This one needs to rest for a goos while and is definitely not for beginners.
The nose I like much better than the taste. Reminds me a little of the Casamigos Reposado with its strong vanilla and caramel note and the minerality in the taste. Rum would not have been my first association in blind test.
