Nine Leaves Ex-Sherry PX 2 Casks Distilled 2020
Nine Leaves Ex-Sherry PX 2 Casks Distilled 2020 is an exclusive Japanese craft rum from a limited series, matured in two casks that previously held sweet Pedro Ximénez sherry. As a result, it offers an intense, rich, and elegantly sweet character that appeals to experienced lovers of premium spirits.
This Japanese rum was distilled from black sugar at the Nine Leaves distillery. It was matured for 5 years in two 400-litre Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. This limited edition was released in only 929 bottles.
The Nine Leaves brand is known for its focus on artisanal production, precise distillation, and careful cask selection. Each edition is produced in small quantities, making it highly sought after among fans of quality rums.
Maturation in PX sherry casks imparts pronounced notes of raisins, dried plums, dates, and dark caramel. On the palate, layers of chocolate, candied fruit, gentle woody accents, and spice gradually unfold into a long, warming finish.
The cask strength of 59 % preserves the rum’s full intensity and authentic character. Adding a few drops of water reveals additional layers of sweet fruit and spice.
Bottling from only two casks underlines the exclusivity of this release. Nine Leaves Ex-Sherry PX 2 Casks 2020 is ideal for slow sipping, where its complexity and structure can fully shine. It also represents a valuable collector’s item or a premium gift for lovers of bold and authentic rums.
