Ryoma7YearOldJapaneseRum(700mL)

<p><em>The Japanese continue to Surprise. </em></p><p>Produced by <em>Kikusui</em>, a Rum distillery located south of the archipelago on the island of Shikoku in a village in the east of the Kohi prefecture, which is known as the <em>oldest producer</em> of sugar cane in Japan. This naturally led to the production of Ryoma Rum, a <em>liquid gold inspired</em> by foreign techniques, with a sparkle of the Japanese culture.</p><p>Ryoma Rum is named after <em>Sakamoto Ryōma</em>, a prominent figure in the movement to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate during the Bakumatsu period in Japan. Ryoma Rum is produced from <em>freshly pressed sugar cane</em>, and is aged for 7 years in oak casks. Rum made from sugar cane juice is quite different than Rum made from molasses. It’s more pungent, and grassy.</p><p>Japan is indeed not the first country to come to mind when thinking about Rum. </p><p>
