“Un nez assez neutre avec un côté clairement saké et massepain. On ne sent pas les watts. La bouche est étonnement douce avec peu d’arômes et une persistance aromatique autour du saké et un côté pâtissier, légèrement fumé et herbacé. La finale est bien courte. Un rhum à 50%, trop sec et pas assez généreux pour être un rhum qui pourrait me plaire.”

“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!”
