Review by Oliver
Very unique aroma and flavor profile. I really like it!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Exciting stuff! Nose reminiscent of a mixture of cognac and foursquare rum. Taste could be for me an absolutely horny cask strength cognac or even Armagnac, barely ticks, very harmonious, strong and tasty! Please more of it Japan!🙌🏼🇯🇵😁🤤 Has at the 2nd tasting something of shochu or sake.
Review by Alex1981
Exciting! Intense, fruity nose. Slightly salty, wild, intense. Embedded in soju notes and a hint of fruity cognac. Finish unfortunately a little short, but still very good!
Review by Thunderbird
An interesting new type of rum with facets of sake and cognac
Review by Johannes
The nose is very impressive with tropical notes. Palate can't quite keep up with the nose, but nice complexity with Armagnac, sake.
Review by Henry Davies
Was excited to try this one and did not disappoint. Super inviting nose, sweet with candied fruit, oak, chocolate. Strong but balanced mouth, some brine and chocolate with a hint of raisin and caramel. I like it a lot. The finish is long and lingering with many layers. Great complexity, nearly a 8.5 for me, glad I have a bottle. It’s not what I was expecting and by far one of the more interesting rum’s I have enjoyed in recent months
Review by JMac
Interesting mix. It’s good rum with the hint of sake and an aftertaste of the cognac. Quality unique sipper.
