Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Mid to deep gold; rich color from Cognac and Oloroso influence, medium-heavy legs
Nose
Pear tarte tatin with fresh vanilla, toasted coconut, mango, and guava. The Cognac and Oloroso casks add a European richness to the Japanese spirit character
Palate
Full-bodied. Tropical fruit and incense spice dominate. The Cognac casks add grape-rich depth, Oloroso brings dried fruit and dark chocolate, Chibidaru intensify the wood interaction. Mango, guava, toasted coconut, and warming spice create an exotic profile
Finish
Long finish with tropical fruit fading through incense spice, toasted coconut, and gentle oak tannins. The Cognac influence lingers with grape sweetness. Complex and layered
