A Japanese rum finished in mizunara oak from the 2021 release, sweet and dessert like with caramel, brown sugar, cocoa and coconut, an unsweetened bottling whose Japanese oak lends a soft, woody chocolate character at 40%.
Description
Minioki is a Japanese rum producer, and this 2021 release is finished in mizunara, the prized native Japanese oak more often seen in whisky. Bottled at 40% without added sugar, it brings a distinctly Japanese sensibility to rum, using mizunara's gentle, aromatic influence to shape a soft, dessert leaning spirit.
Despite carrying no added sugar, the profile reads sweet and confectionary: the nose offers caramel, brown sugar and cocoa, the palate turns sweet with cocoa and a woody, barrel character, and the finish brings cocoa, coconut and more caramel. The mizunara finish lends a soft, rounded woodiness rather than the spicy or resinous notes the cask can sometimes give, keeping everything mellow and chocolatey. At 40% it drinks gently, a smooth, cocoa rich sipper that will appeal to anyone curious about Japanese rum or the effect of mizunara on cane spirit.
