Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Golden amber with rich depth, enhanced by higher ABV and non-chill filtration which preserves natural compounds.
- Nose
- Vibrant and expressive nose with prominent stone fruit, vanilla cream, and toasted oak. Hints of smoke and incense add mystique, with a distinctive Japanese oak spice character.
- Palate
- Robust and flavorful palate with notes of ripe stone fruits, caramel, and a peppery kick. The higher ABV adds warmth and brings forward subtle herbal and floral notes alongside the oak influence.
- Finish
- Lengthy, warming finish with rich oak tannins and lingering fruitiness. The aftertaste reveals layers of spice and a subtle smokiness that evolves on the palate.
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
