Tasting Notes

Nose: A captivating and complex bouquet unfolds with notes of cooked fruit, blackberry, dried apricot, and ripe banana, interwoven with delicate nuances of Mizunara (Japanese oak), sandalwood, and a hint of frankincense. Underlying layers of honey, rose, and a gentle waft of smoke provide remarkable depth and elegance.

Palate: The palate is remarkably smooth and medium-bodied, offering a symphony of sweet and spicy flavors. Dark chocolate, candied orange peel, and dried fruit (raisins, dates) meld beautifully with a subtle spice of cinnamon and clove. The distinctive Mizunara influence presents itself as gentle incense and aromatic wood, balanced by a creamy, almost custardy texture and a touch of bitterness that adds complexity.

Finish: Long, lingering, and exquisitely refined. It evolves from sweet fruit and spice to a delicate, smoky-woody character, leaving a memorable impression of sandalwood, dried cherry, and a whisper of green tea, with a remarkably clean and sophisticated close.
