Waiting at Istanbul Airport for the connecting flight. Not really my thing this Nine Leaves, too much whisky comes through. Also a bit herbal, also spicy, especially pepper, but the alcohol is also too clearly noticeable.

Nice copper robe - shiny. First good nose, strong but not overwhelming. Fruits, pepper, wood. Easy to drink, round, pleasant. After 10mn nose becomes a bit less attractive, a bit of egg white. Not very long Since the distillery is closed, have it another go. I am not a fan of the eggs white tonality (that’s what it feels like to me). Downgraded a bit - enjoyed the clear more

6.6/10

Like the other Japanese ones so far, light and floral nose. I don't find the menthol notes of the American cask version. Palate full of promises but it doesn't take off. A bit flat for my taste.

Aged rum 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 15,000 Rums

Aged rum is where the spirit earns its complexity. In a tropical warehouse a barrel loses 6 to 10 percent of its contents to evaporation every year, which is why an 8-year Caribbean rum can taste deeper than a 20-year Scotch. This page gathers every rum on RumX that has spent real time in wood, with community ratings to separate the genuinely mature from the merely dark.
