How does this rum taste?
- Interesting sake-like aroma
- Grapes and malt flavor
- Unique Cabernet Sauvignon cask finish
The "Almost Spring Cabernet Sauvignon Cask" from Japan's Nine Leaves distillery is a unique rum aged for one year with a robust 48% ABV. User reviews highlight a dynamic aroma profile featuring sake, wine, and fruity notes, while its taste is dominated by grapes and malt characteristics. The rum presents a lively, dry finish reminiscent of grappa, suitable for after-dinner enjoyment. While some find it distinctive and enjoyable, others feel it lacks depth, noting its slightly bitter and alcoholic finish. This rum's Cabernet Sauvignon cask finish adds an intriguing twist but may not cater to all traditional rum lovers' tastes.

"Actually good approaches. But too little of everything. And I find these Sauvignon finishes generally weak."
"It doesn't make sense, between sake and cognac, But that doesn't mean it's bad, it's confusing. On the other hand, it's very short on the palate and quite strong. To sum up, my tasting notes: Nose: Sake, Woody, Fermented, Nougat On the palate: Malt, Sake, Dry, Alcoholic, Fermented, Warm Finish: Cognac, Salty, Woody"
"in the second attempt it works better and from the initially too pure seeming rum still a lot comes out. definitely needs some time, then certainly a pleasure."
"I love it."
