Helios Kiyomi White Rum
Loved by Christoph & 2 more
A curious option for explorers: unaged, 40% Japanese-style white rum with floral, vegetal and olive notes that many compare to sake or clairin. RumX members find it fresh, funky-light and great in Daiquiris or Ti’ Punch.

Review by Gaetan Abraham
A very floral white rum, both on the nose and in taste. Although a little "dry" on the palate.
Review by Christoph
Blind wäre ich wahrscheinlich irgendwo bei Clairin gelandet, da ich mich da schon des Öfteren im Olivenwasser hab schwimmen sehen, wobei es hier schon eher die pure Olive im Glas ist. Besonders im Abgang kommt eine gut dazu passende Käsenote dazu. An Frucht vor allem im Mund etwas Litchi. Besonders gefällt die ölige Konsistenz auf der Zunge. Alkohol, bei den ABV zu erwarten, merkt man nicht. Zugegeben, sehr speziell, aber ganz objektiv ein qualitativ sehr guter Rum und über Geschmack lässt sich ja bekanntlich streiten.
Review by Léa G
Unusual fragrance and aroma compared to traditional agricultural rums. Pleasant and refreshing in Ti Punch.
Review by Adrien B
Even on a blind tasting, we're looking at an acqueous floral saké profile.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
rather reminds of sake... not mine. Backhouse unpleasantly alcoholic and sour like cheap rice wine ...
Review by TheJackDrop
Rhum Club de Lille, soirée 1 : un premier blanc bien fleuri, très très frais. Il y a un côté gin mais plus rond, assez fluide. Il y a aussi de l’ananas, la poire, la prune. C’est déroutant mais vraiment bon et simple à boire.

impossible to taste for me
Review by Morgan Garet
So far, the only rather pleasant Japanese rum.
Review by Martin Švojgr
V chuti cítím krásné lesní jahody.
Review by Vincent D
An easy-drinking, uncomplicated rum with a pleasant profile. Lots of fruit on the nose. Mostly lychee. Cane, a very vegetal note. Same on the palate, where the low degree makes it very easy to drink. Not crazy, but rather pleasant.
Review by Andi
Both on the nose and on the palate, a vegetable, paprika note is noticeable, for me it had something of a savanna. There was also a vegetable bottling. Unfortunately, it doesn't suit my taste at all.
Review by Madi Dromamad
C'est très floral, sur des notes d'agrumes. Ça doit être intéressant en daiquiri
Review by Thefrenchagave
Un côté prune japonaise et une certaine familiarité avec le gin. Un rhum blanc assez expressif, bien loin de ce qu’on trouve habituellement, avec de la canne fraîche et des notes d’agrumes. Ça change !
Review by Starky
Litchi/ fruit de la passion en bouche
