How does this rum taste?
Creamy Japanese whisky‑style sipper
If you like well-aged, creamy sipping spirits—especially Japanese or soft single malts—this is a great bridge into Japanese rum, with familiar caramel and oak plus a distinctive twist.
Drinkers who dislike caramel-forward sweetness, woody notes with slight astringency, or are looking for high-ester funk or big cask-strength intensity.

Great nose, very good
The impression of a bad finish. Astringent woodiness. Fortunately, the Prune finish lifts it all. But I don't like the almost burnt caramel aspect.
This was not a cheap bottle and though my wife is Japanese, she had problems locating a bottle. Japan is not well known for rum yet, but it's slowly spreading like whisky did many years ago. The nose on this bottle is truly amazing especially if you leave it for 15 minutes or more to really release everything. The palate is velvety and complex with spices, wood and smoke really well balanced with the proof. Only 2500 bottles made and I'm happy one of them is on my shelf.
