How does this rum taste?
Most enjoy the unique Japanese profile and nutty sherry notes; critics find the PX finish overpowering, masking the distillery character and feeling a bit flat for the price. Consensus: interesting, not essential.
If you like sherry‑forward whiskies or rum finishes and are curious about Nine Leaves, this is worth a try—but go in expecting PX first, Japanese rum second.
Those wanting a clear Nine Leaves identity, beginners sensitive to 59% ABV, or buyers seeking strong value and everyday sipping rather than experimental finishes.

#5715 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. Another big disappointment in my mind. This one a bit more vegetal and light mint, but still spicy on the palate with some anise and honey. There is a peppery note on the palate as well.
Buono il legno di sherry che copre tutto il resto che non c’è
Cette année, j’ai pu déguster toute la lineup, et… malheureusement, ce n’est pas mieux. Les rhums sont plus jeunes (2017 à 2020) et, globalement, encore moins convaincants. La série mise surtout sur les finishes : 2020 Sherry Pedro Ximénez – 60 % et 59 % 2018 Spanish Oak – 59 % 2018 Armagnac Cask – 59 % 2017 Red Wine Cask – 60 % S’il fallait en sauver un, ce serait le 2018 Spanish Oak : une finale dense, corsée, avec cette impression de “mâcher un bâton de réglisse”. Intéressant, sans être transcendant. On sent clairement que cette gamme reste expérimentale, en quête d’un équilibre entre la base et le type de vieillissement. Mais pour l’instant, je dois l’avouer : je ne suis pas le public visé. Des rhums de dégustation plus que de plaisir, parfaits pour un club de dégustation ou une session découverte, mais pas vraiment des bouteilles que j’aurais envie de garder dans mon bar.
