How does this rum taste?
The Teeda Aged 21 Years rum, crafted at the Helios distillery in Japan, is a limited edition of 2,500 bottles from 1998. Distilled from molasses using a pot still and matured for 21 years, it boasts a distinctive aroma profile with notes of caramel, chocolate, and orange. On the palate, it offers a creamy, vanilla-forward taste with hints of toffee and a woody finish, embodying a character akin to Japanese whiskies. Widely admired for its complexity and balance of spices, wood, and smoke, this rum has impressed enthusiasts seeking unique and sophisticated spirits. However, some have noted a slight metallic scent and astringent wood notes.

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.
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.
velmi zvláštní netypická chuť. Myslím že jsem nic podobného doposud nechutnal. V chuti mi to připomíná Werther's Original bonbony. Tedy mléčné karamely.
This one is a surprise for me! I did know the rum before and it is definitely not bad. Sweet amd mild, pretty similar to japanese whisky style. I like it. Surprise of the year for me! Friendly rum club advent 2024
