- Description
- Nine Leaves' 2020 rum was aged for five years in Pedro Ximénez sherry barrels — note the original description states seven years, but the age statement says five — resulting in a rich, dessert-like spirit. The dense, sweet cask influence dominates, revealing dried fruits, warm spices, and honeyed oak layered into the rum's base character. Bottled at 59% ABV, this suits those with a preference for sherry-influenced sweetness and pairs well with chocolate or as an after-dinner dram.
