Rhum Nine Leaves Last Drops

About the Producer 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.
