How does this rum taste?
Clear by Nine Leaves distillery, crafted in Japan, captures a unique blend of cultural influences. Distilled from molasses in 2017 using a pot still, it boasts a prominent ABV of 50%. Users describe its aroma as a fascinating mix of marzipan, fruity, and floral notes with a hint of sake. The taste reveals layers of sake, vegetal, floral, malt, and citrus flavors, evoking a gentle sweetness balanced by dry herbal tones. While praised for its mildness and unique profile, some find it overly dry for their palate. Despite varying opinions, it stands out in the realm of unaged rums, particularly appealing to those seeking a different experience.

I can understand why this rum has won awards. While you can still smell the alcohol in the nose next to fruity-floral notes, is just transferred, you are surprised in the taste of an incredible mildness and pleasant sweetness. In addition, there are then herbal notes of herbs. The Nine Leaves typical sake note I notice here only in the finish. The best unaged rum to drink neat that I know so far!

Mon préféré de Nine leaves sur ce que j'ai goûté jusqu'ici. Nez plus alcoolique que les autres rhums japonnais que j'ai dégustés mais avec le même côté floral. Pour moi un super rhum blanc, bien équilibré, un côté ti punch en bouteille. Une belle attaque, un peu d'agrume, du fruit et le suave du sucre brun. Longueur intéressante avec encore les notes fruitées/ fruit d'automne déjà senties dans d'autres rhum japonnais.
Euuuuh C’est vraiment du rhum ? Amusant En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Saké, Alcoolique, Massepain En bouche : Saké, Herbacé, Fermenté La finale plutot orientee vers : Herbacé, Saké
