As with agricole-style rums, fermentations are triggered using carefully selected <strong data-start=\"4412\" data-end=\"4428\">local yeasts<\/strong>, and run for around <strong data-start=\"4449\" data-end=\"4462\">four days<\/strong>. Echoing the small batch also aged in Pedro Xim\u00e9nez casks within the same Itin\u00e9raires catalogue, this <strong data-start=\"4565\" data-end=\"4580\">single cask<\/strong> delivers extraordinary depth and definition. Alongside notes of lightly burnt dark cane sugar, its aromatic and flavour profile travels through mature, radiant lanes of medicinal, floral, fruity and honeyed complexity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4801\" data-end=\"5233\"><strong data-start=\"4801\" data-end=\"4824\">About the producer:<\/strong> Nine Leaves was a Japanese micro-distillery founded in 2013 by Yoshiharu Takeuchi in \u014ctsu, Shiga Prefecture (near Lake Biwa). It became known for uncompromising craft, genuinely small batches, and a whisky-inspired approach\u2014particularly in fermentation control and precise distillation. Takeuchi chose to close the distillery at the end of 2023, which has made the remaining releases especially sought-after.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5235\" data-end=\"5517\"><strong data-start=\"5235\" data-end=\"5244\">Nose:<\/strong> Rich and deep. Medicinal (balm), chocolatey, gently spiced (cinnamon, ginger), verdant (sugarcane fields) and headily floral (tuberose, iris), the aromas keep rising in the glass. With aeration, blood orange, linden honey and woodland notes (mushroom, chestnut) take over.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5519\" data-end=\"5550\"><strong data-start=\"5519\" data-end=\"5530\">Colour:<\/strong> Deep copper-orange.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5552\" data-end=\"5807\"><strong data-start=\"5552\" data-end=\"5563\">Palate:<\/strong> Both lively and full-bodied. Fibrous (sugarcane), empyreumatic (ash, burnt wood) yet also fruity (date, fig) and honeyed (lavender), showing impressive concentration. Over time, marmalade, quince jelly and Bourbon vanilla compete in intensity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5809\" data-end=\"6194\"><strong data-start=\"5809\" data-end=\"5820\">Finish:<\/strong> Silky and unforced. Coated in a fine layer of <strong data-start=\"5867\" data-end=\"5892\">salted butter caramel<\/strong>, it quickly shifts into especially suave tropical territory (mango, persimmon, guava). At this precise moment, the influence of <strong data-start=\"6021\" data-end=\"6050\">Pedro Xim\u00e9nez cask ageing<\/strong> reaches its zenith. Long afterwards, the empty glass reproduces in detail the medicinal, chocolatey and herbaceous character of the first nose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pure Single Japanese Rum<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":111705,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"","slide_template_v7":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[989,4633,9226],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-111701","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-rom-en","7":"product_cat-premium-aged-en","8":"product_cat-alternative-rum-types","9":"pa_champagne-type-single-cask-en","10":"pa_land-japan-en","11":"pa_procent-59-en","12":"pa_producent-nine-leaves","13":"pa_traefad-pedro-ximenez-px-en","14":"pa_volume-70-en-2","16":"first","17":"instock","18":"taxable","19":"shipping-taxable","20":"purchasable","21":"product-type-simple"},"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":2,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/111701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/111705"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=111701"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=111701"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raschvin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=111701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
