Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5716 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. This one was also a bit disappointing though the wood is more obvious and stronger citrus notes as well as some light vanilla and honey.
Review by cigares
Un rhum dégusté au Whisky Live Paris en 2025. Un nez plutôt ample avec, toujours chez Nine Leaves, un côté saké, des fruits jaunes et de la douceur boisée et vanillée. De la douceur et de l’amertume en bouche avec une première impression solide. La trame du saké est heureusement ici en arrière-fond. La finale est longue avec un boisé en soutient. Les deux single cask n’ont fait bonne impression mais j’ai préféré le chêne espagnol pour sa meilleure intégration de l’alcool.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Cette année, j’ai pu déguster toute la lineup, et… malheureusement, ce n’est pas mieux. Les rhums sont plus jeunes (2017 à 2020) et, globalement, encore moins convaincants. La série mise surtout sur les finishes : 2020 Sherry Pedro Ximénez – 60 % et 59 % 2018 Spanish Oak – 59 % 2018 Armagnac Cask – 59 % 2017 Red Wine Cask – 60 % S’il fallait en sauver un, ce serait le 2018 Spanish Oak : une finale dense, corsée, avec cette impression de “mâcher un bâton de réglisse”. Intéressant, sans être transcendant. On sent clairement que cette gamme reste expérimentale, en quête d’un équilibre entre la base et le type de vieillissement. Mais pour l’instant, je dois l’avouer : je ne suis pas le public visé. Des rhums de dégustation plus que de plaisir, parfaits pour un club de dégustation ou une session découverte, mais pas vraiment des bouteilles que j’aurais envie de garder dans mon bar.
