Review by Chateau Caroni
Great nose, very good
Review by Adrien B
The impression of a bad finish. Astringent woodiness. Fortunately, the Prune finish lifts it all. But I don't like the almost burnt caramel aspect.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This was not a cheap bottle and though my wife is Japanese, she had problems locating a bottle. Japan is not well known for rum yet, but it's slowly spreading like whisky did many years ago. The nose on this bottle is truly amazing especially if you leave it for 15 minutes or more to really release everything. The palate is velvety and complex with spices, wood and smoke really well balanced with the proof. Only 2500 bottles made and I'm happy one of them is on my shelf.

Review by Richard Krupa
ve vůni i chuti krémový a karamelový, láhev jsem nikdy před tím neviděl a velice příjemně mě překvapila
Review by Martin Švojgr
velmi zvláštní netypická chuť. Myslím že jsem nic podobného doposud nechutnal. V chuti mi to připomíná Werther's Original bonbony. Tedy mléčné karamely.
Review by Christoph Stieger
Für 48% /Vol sehr weich und samtig. Typische japanische Perfektion ohne zu langweilig zu werden.
