Tsunuki Mars Tsunuki ~ Yakushima Aging 5 Year Old, First Fill Bourbon Cask, Cask #2069, 2021, 61%

The listed SGD 236.98 sale reference makes this a considered purchase, so the flavour detail matters. Cut grass and crème brûlée lead into honey, vanilla and chocolate éclair, followed by sweet spice, coconut and aniseed. That gives it a clear sweet-and-herbal character, though whether the price feels comfortable depends on how much those notes appeal.
