Tasting Notes

Nose

Sandalwood and sweet incense rise first, followed by ripe pear, coconut shavings, beeswax and a thread of pine resin unique to mizunara oak.

Palate

Silken arrival of honeyed pear and orange marmalade, then the temple-wood pivot — sandalwood, clove, kara incense and a faint green tea bitterness anchoring the sweetness.

Finish

Long, perfumed and meditative, with sandalwood and warm coconut lingering like the smoke from a Kyoto temple.

Expert Review

9/10

Suntory's tribute to Japan's native oak — sandalwood, kara incense and coconut from rare mizunara casks.
