Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep gold to light amber; rich color from diverse cask types, medium-heavy legs
Nose
Rich and sweet — red apples topped with honey, maltose candy. Brightens with fresh white peaches, peach gummies, candied apricots. Vibrant kumquat and loquat aromas alongside honey and vanilla
Palate
Full-bodied. Apple and honey with characteristic Chichibu spiciness. Big notes of apples and white peaches, candied honey and maltose. Creamy palate reminiscent of condensed milk and yogurt. Elegant plums and peaches from the wine and sherry casks. Mizunara adds sandalwood complexity. 100% floor-malted barley adds a rich, biscuity grain depth
Finish
Long finish with orchard fruit fading through honey sweetness, gentle spice, and sandalwood from Mizunara. The oldest casks (up to 15 years) add a mature oak elegance. Warm and deeply satisfying
