The Nine Leaves Angel's Half American Oak is a unique rum with a balanced and straightforward profile, boasting notes of cane, caramelized sugar, and twirling flowers. The light and discreet woodiness adds a hint of sulphur and straw, while aeration develops a whisky-like profile with nuances of nuts, malted cereals, and slightly bitter fruits. This exceptional rum is distilled twice from unrefined brown sugar and aged in American oak barrels, resulting in a light and smooth texture with milk caramel and chocolate undertones.
The master distiller, Yoshiharu Takeuchi, who trained at the renowned Chichibu whisky distillery, personally supervised the production of this rum from start to finish. The Angel's Half was aged in virgin oak, 250-liter, medium-toasted American oak casks, which impart notes of maple syrup, roasted nuts, and coffee.
In the distillery's early years, Yoshi released several Angel's Half bottlings that were only aged for 6 months to 1 year, making them relatively young. This new rum, however, comes after 3 years of barrel aging, appearing darker and more mature. It offers a significant improvement in aromatic complexity and depth, setting it apart from its predecessors.
Overall, the Nine Leaves Angel's Half American Oak is a unique and exceptional rum, with a smooth and light texture, and a complex and well-balanced flavor profile. This rum stands out for its distinctive character, making it an uncomplicated sipper suitable for a broad range of rum enthusiasts.
