How does this rum taste?
Soft, floral, olive‑driven Japanese white
If you enjoy Clairin, Savanna-style “vegetal/olive” whites or gin-adjacent profiles, this gives you that character in a softer 40% package—great to test your tolerance for funky, savory notes.
Those wanting sweet, neutral white rum, anyone sensitive to vegetal/olive or cheesy notes, and drinkers expecting classic molasses softness rather than a sake-like profile.

A very floral white rum, both on the nose and in taste. Although a little "dry" on the palate.
Auto-translatedBlind wäre ich wahrscheinlich irgendwo bei Clairin gelandet, da ich mich da schon des Öfteren im Olivenwasser hab schwimmen sehen, wobei es hier schon eher die pure Olive im Glas ist. Besonders im Abgang kommt eine gut dazu passende Käsenote dazu. An Frucht vor allem im Mund etwas Litchi. Besonders gefällt die ölige Konsistenz auf der Zunge. Alkohol, bei den ABV zu erwarten, merkt man nicht. Zugegeben, sehr speziell, aber ganz objektiv ein qualitativ sehr guter Rum und über Geschmack lässt sich ja bekanntlich streiten.
Unusual fragrance and aroma compared to traditional agricultural rums. Pleasant and refreshing in Ti Punch.
