Nose
The nose opens with a rich and complex symphony of aromas. Sweet notes of vanilla and honey emerge first, followed by ripe fruits such as peach, apple and pear. Subtle hints of tropical fruits like pineapple and mango add an exotic dimension. There are also floral undertones, accompanied by a touch of oak and a delicate spiciness of cinnamon and nutmeg.
Palate
At the first sip, a full and layered flavour profile reveals itself. Tones of creamy caramel and toffee mingle with juicy apples and pears. The midpalate offers a delicate balance of sweetness and spice, with nuances of dried fruit and a hint of citrus. The influences of both Chichibu and Hanyu distilleries emerge with complex layers of wood and a subtle smokiness.
Finish
The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of sweet spice and a gentle smokiness that slowly fades. Hints of sandalwood, from Mizunara oak barrels, offer a unique exotic touch. A slight nuttiness and a hint of leather add depth, leaving each sip with a lasting and refined impression.
