TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Opulent and complex — Japanese mizunara incense, sandalwood, honey, vanilla, ripe stewed fruit, gentle baking spice, dried apricot, polished oak, and a touch of dark chocolate — distinctively Japanese and beautifully matured.
PALATE
Velvety and rich — caramelised honey, mizunara spice, sandalwood incense, vanilla cream, dark toffee, gentle leather, dried apricot, and integrated mizunara oak — silky, layered, and harmoniously balanced at higher strength.
FINISH
Exceptionally long — lingering honey, mizunara incense, sandalwood, vanilla, soft baking spice, and a warming oak depth fading gracefully — distinctively Japanese and beautifully composed.
ABV: 48% ABV
