📝 Tasting Notes

👃 Nose

Supremely elegant with layers of sherry-soaked raisins, candied plum, and aged mizunara oak releasing sandalwood incense and aloe wood. Orange marmalade, cinnamon bark, and aged leather interweave with delicate jasmine and orchid notes.

👅 Palate

Silken and extraordinarily balanced with tawny port-like richness, black cherry, and dates complemented by caramelized honey and exotic Japanese oak spices. Nuances of old books, tobacco leaf, and white pepper add contemplative complexity to the fruit-forward core.

🔥 Finish

Exceptionally long, refined finish with evolving notes of dried fruit, fragrant oak, gentle spice, and lingering floral sweetness that persists for minutes.

🥃 How to Enjoy

Recommended
🥃
Neat

Best for complex single malts and aged expressions. Room temperature in a tulip or Glencairn glass.

🧊
On the Rocks

Works well with lighter blended whiskeys. Use one large ice cube to keep dilution slow and controlled.

💧
A Touch of Water

Opens up the aromatics on cask-strength bottlings. One small drop at a time — you can always add more.
