Nine Leaves Encrypted 3 III Rum Japan 58%vol 0,7l Otsu Shiga

Joshiharu Takeuchi delights us time and again with exciting bottlings from his small pot still setup. In 2021, we received 60 bottles of the American Oak rum, which was matured for a full 3 years in American oak. chr2026

In the early years of the distillery, Yoshi had already released several Angel’s Half bottlings. The first products, however, were matured for only 6 months or 1 year and were therefore comparatively very young. After 3 years of cask maturation, this new rum is significantly darker and more mature. In terms of flavor, it impresses with an enormous leap forward from an aromatic perspective. Greater complexity and more depth clearly set it apart from its predecessors!

NINE LEAVES is a craft distillery founded in 2013 in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, Japan, by Yoshiharu Takeuchi, named after his family logo, a nine-leaf bamboo leaf.

 With high standards for quality, Takeuchi built his micro-distillery. He uses muscovado sugar (pure, raw cane sugar), which holds great significance in Japan and is made exclusively from Japanese sugar cane. After double distillation, the result is a very pure, clear rum that presents itself on the nose with a very fruity bouquet and, compared with other rested rum varieties, offers a great diversity of aromas. With its fruity notes, this white Nine Leaves Clear is reminiscent of a blend of fruit brandy, rum, and rhum agricole. But above all, with his young cask-aged bottlings, Takeuchi has shown in recent years just how good young rum can be. His willingness to experiment with a wide variety of casks (American oak, French oak, ex-Cabernet Sauvignon, ex-brandy, ex-sherry PX, and many more) leaves nothing to be desired. The comparatively young age of the youngest bottlings from 2014 at 6 months and the now oldest from 2019 at 4 years is by no means too young or unbalanced; rather, it exceeds all expectations and leaves us eagerly and excitedly looking forward to the upcoming bottlings.

The great variety and the regularly released new bottlings have now also made the rounds among collectors and enjoy great popularity.

Monozukuri - this is the driving force behind the passion to create a perfect product. Yoshiharu Takeuchi pursues the production of his rum with precisely this Japanese passion for craftsmanship and continues to surprise time and again. Nine Leaves is one to watch with excitement for the upcoming bottlings. Since only small quantities are produced, with an average of only 80 to 120 bottles coming to Germany, you should decide quickly!
