NINE LEAVES 2017 Ex-Bourbon Small Batch

$235.00

The Okinawa archipelago, and specifically the island of Tarama-jima, is renowned for its Kokuto brown sugar (also known as Okinawa black sugar), which serves as the raw material for Nine Leaves rums.

The fermentation process is initiated using a local yeast carefully selected by Yoshiharu Takeuchi, the founder of the distillery.

The process takes around four days, similar to agricultural rums. Aged in a barrel that previously contained bourbon, this version shows remarkable balance.

Radiating exoticism, its aromatic and flavor profile also shines with the noble quality of its perfectly integrated woodiness and an unalterable freshness of expression.

Description

Tasting Notes


Colour
: Copper.

Nose : Delicate, airy. Exotic (mango, persimmon), roasted, and praline notes are supported by scents of sandalwood and eucalyptus. On aeration, flowers (lily, freesia) infuse their heady aromas over delicate hints of cane sugar and marshmallow.

Palate : Straightforward, elegant. Initially, flavors of coconut, tangerine, apricot candy, and toffee blend together harmoniously. Then, the flavor profile shifts toward more vegetal tones (ripe sugarcane) and peppery notes (Sichuan pepper).

Finish : Long, refined. Continuing from the palate, cane honey gradually coats the taste buds. However, this sweet sensation is quickly balanced by more tangy flavors of lemon, orange, and apricot. A mix of vanilla and licorice, the retro-olfaction is tenderly vegetal (tobacco).
