    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.

    "Both on the nose and on the palate, a vegetable, paprika note is noticeable, for me it had something of a savanna. There was also a vegetable bottling. Unfortunately, it doesn't suit my taste at all."

    "An easy-drinking, uncomplicated rum with a pleasant profile. Lots of fruit on the nose. Mostly lychee. Cane, a very vegetal note. Same on the palate, where the low degree makes it very easy to drink. Not crazy, but rather pleasant."
