Cuvée presentation

A small batch of Nine Leaves that was distilled in 2017, aged in bourbon casks and bottled in 2024. The Okinawa Archipelago–more specifically the island of Taramajima–is famous for a brown sugar called "kokuto" (also known as Okinawa black sugar), which serves as the raw material for Nine Leaves rum production. The fermentation process is sparked with the use of a local yeast, selected with the utmost care by Yoshiharu Takeuchi, the founder of the distillery. The process lasts for around four days, similar to what we experience with the rhums agricoles. Aged in casks which previously contained bourbon, this version shows remarkable balance. Beaming with exoticism, its aromatic and flavour palate also allows the nobility of its perfectly integrated woodiness to shine through, alongside an unalterable freshness of expression.

The distillery Nine Leaves

Japan’s Nine Leaves distillery in the Shiga Prefecture of Honshu opened in 2013. Although founder Yoshiharu Takeuchi wanted to produce rum, he asked for the help of Ichiro Akuto (Chichibu), who recommended he buy Forsyths stills and Glenfarclas-style washbacks. The wort is an original combination of muscovado sugar and water, which is double distilled after fermentation then matured in French and American oak casks.
