Description

When you think of rum, what's the first country that comes to mind? That's right, Japan! Well that's exactly where this Ryoma rum is from. The sugarcane used to make the Ryoma is grown by the oldest sugarcane farm in Japan. It's full of rich vanilla and caramel notes that fans of Caribbean rum will find familiar and delicious.

Not a Rum

This is a very particular liquor. I bought a bottle expecting something along the lines of Japanese single malt: a rather atypical, but very refined version of the traditional drink. Well, refined and atypical this is, but it's not rum. I would describe it as a double distilled kind of sake (someone mentioned Grappa, I say sake, but the general idea is the same). It has none of the sugarcane flavour that is a prerequisite of good rum. Personally I feel no trace of the freshly cut cane taste described in another review here, and I’ve had fresh cane juice. What I get instead is a saltiness that overpowers everything, followed by a very slight smokiness. The fusel tone also mentioned earlier is certainly there. This drink reminds me of some Bruichladdich varieties more than anything else. Think of pure malt aged (but not enough) in old barrels on the seaside. So it’s a clear, salty, whiskey-like drink, but rum, in the proper sense of the term, this is not. If you like quality idiosyncratic drinks, give it a try. If you want rum, get something else.

Yes, very different

Colour: Very pale Bouquet: Smells very much like a fine Grappa, a distinct "raw" smell, almost fusel, as it was not quite ready yet. Taste: The Swedish whisky maker Mackmyra has one or two whisky that has matured on oak casks. The taste is very similar to this rum and I must say that the similarity to one of those is much closer than to any rum I've ever tasted. Overall an okey spirit, but if you are looking for a sweet and round rum, look elsewhere.
