Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Golden amber with rich copper highlights, displaying excellent clarity and viscosity.
Nose
Fresh maritime air mingles with honeyed grain, subtle peat smoke, and delicate floral notes. Hints of dried seaweed and ocean spray emerge with time in the glass, alongside soft vanilla and caramel undertones.
Palate
Creamy and well-balanced on the palate with initial sweetness of honey and ripe stone fruits. A gentle coastal salinity develops mid-palate, complemented by light smoke and spice notes that evolve into warming oak influence.
Finish
The finish is medium to long with lingering sweetness, subtle peat smoke, and a mineral saltiness reminiscent of Hokkaido's coastline. A pleasant warmth persists with final notes of honey and toasted grain.
