Nose
Honey, stone fruit, a gentle maltiness. Beautifully clean and precise, with a depth that belies the distillery's youth. Beneath the fruit, vanilla, a gentle spice and a whisper of the wood-fired still's influence — a subtle smokiness.
Palate
Elegant and fruity — stone fruit, honey, a gentle malt sweetness. The wood-fired still adds a subtle smoky warmth that distinguishes Shizuoka from other Japanese malts. Mid-palate brings vanilla, dried apricot and a gentle warmth. At cask strength, vivid and compelling.
Finish
Medium-long, with stone fruit and a gentle, smoky elegance.
