Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep golden to light amber with oily richness.
Nose
Exotic sandalwood and incense notes characterize the nose. Underneath lies subtle spice, green tea, and a hint of coconut. Creamy vanilla softens the woody elements.
Palate
Rich and full-bodied with distinctive mizunara spice. Sandalwood and incense flavors develop alongside honeyed malt and a soft floral note. The wood influence is prominent but balanced.
Finish
Long, warming finish with persistent incense, spice, and wood. A gentle sweetness lingers on the palate.
