Oooooo you are in for an absolute treat with the Break Even Bottle for the month of May. In 2023, the small Japanese distillery, Nine Leaves, closed and the people from bought the whole stock. Operated solely by Yoshiharu Takeuchi from 2013, he managed to produce some incredible rum, made by local raw materials of the highest quality, pristine underground spring water and Kokuto sugar from the Okinawa archipelago. What sets this release appart is the choice of wood for aging. Russian, instead of Japanese, Mizunara oak was chosen and it gives a much more intense aroma of incense & sandalwood. On the palate… don’t get me started. You HAVE to come try this one!
