    Floral aroma and taste
    Easy-drinking nature
    Distinct Japanese profile

    Kiyomi White Rum, crafted at Japan’s Helios distillery, offers a unique profile that intrigues rum enthusiasts. Distilled from molasses using a pot still and left unaged, it exudes a floral and fruity aroma dominated by litchi. The taste is a blend of sugarcane, vegetal notes, and a hint reminiscent of sake, creating a refreshing yet straightforward palate. Many users appreciate its easy-drinking nature and floral notes, although some find it reminiscent of sake and less complex compared to traditional rums. Ideal for those seeking a distinctively Japanese rum experience, it fares well in simple cocktails. This rum is highlighted for its aromatic qualities but may not be ideal for those expecting classic rum dynamics.

     rather reminds of sake... not mine. Backhouse unpleasantly alcoholic and sour like cheap rice wine ...

     Blind 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.

     Even on a blind tasting, we're looking at an acqueous floral saké profile.
