    How does this rum taste?

    • Rich, complex flavor profile
    • Unique Armagnac finish
    • High alcohol provides intensity

    The Rumclub Berlin Private Selection by Spirit of Rum is a captivating Japanese rum from Nine Leaves distillery, known for its Armagnac finish. Limited to just 228 bottles and boasting a robust 59.8% ABV cask strength, this molasses-based spirit tantalizes with notes of wood, spice, and dried fruit. Enthusiasts appreciate its complex profile with distinct grape and peppery nuances, yet some find it reminiscent of whisky or sake, which may not appeal to all palates. While praised for its aromatic depth and intriguing complexity, its pronounced high alcohol content and whisky-like characteristics may polarize opinions. A must-try for those seeking a unique tasting experience with artisanal charm.

    "The typical sake aroma of some other Nine Leaves is somewhat less pronounced here due to the finish. The higher vol. % content compared to other Nine Leaves is particularly positive here as it gives the rum stronger aromas and more complexity."

    "RumX Advent calendar, 10.12., blind. First impression right impression! It's unmistakable! Nose: lots of aromas, roasty-smoky, spicy nutmeg powder, clearly red wine/Armagnac, resinous-fresh, nutty in the direction of hazelnut. But also fruity and almost floral. Old grape and a hint of raspberry. Definitely dried, sulphurized apricot. Palate: Wow, intense and concentrated, tannins, not dull, but rather fresh. Something citrusy, tipping towards violet. And it's also roasted and spicy, cardamom, nutmeg and pepper. Spicy and salty at first, then becoming sweeter. There is also some menthol and iodine. Spicy sweet finish, aniseed, tea. Even though I usually don't like after-ripening, this one improves the Nine Leaves immensely. But it remains special."
