Helios Teeda Aged 5 Years 2014
Most enjoy the unusual honey, floral and roasted notes and its saké-like personality. Critics find it thin, watery and medicinal. Consensus: interesting, different, but not very complex.
Curious rum drinkers who like light, floral spirits (saké, rice spirits, delicate whites) and want a gentle 40% ABV Japanese rum that’s more about uniqueness than power or sweetness.

7,5:The nose of this rum is marked by notes of tropical fruit, floral, medicinal, varnish, iodine and honey.I forgot a bit as the tasting was last year, but from the start, the rum is complex and tempting and a bit unusual. Definitely, the strongest are tropical fruits and honey. 7,5:On the palate, it delivers flavors of roasted, medicinal, flowery-Jasmin, honey, and light notes....and of course green tea. 🙂 It is as tempting as on the nose is, so quite gourmand.. 6,7:The finish is medium long, with notes of green tea, honey, fruits, Jasmin that continue on. It has an overall taste that is worth a try. It makes an interesting addition to any rum collection. AND IT IS DIFFERENT.
Worth a try 😉
Tres aqueu, je n’aurais pas forcément dit un rhum à l’aveugle. Meme si sans grand intérêt c’est assez interessant sur la graine de sesame grillé, plutôt fin et fleurit.
An experienxe per se, but lacking complexity with the specific rice undertones that, if I quite like them, might not be anyone's cup of tea.
