Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with burnished gold and coppery undertones.
Nose
An elegant wave of peat smoke sits atop a luminous foundation of Mizunara oak. Notes of sandalwood, coconut and light incense mingle with vanilla and citrus zest, while subtle ash and maritime hints lend depth. The balance is precise yet generous, signaling the whisky’s restrained peat and the distinct Japanese oak influence.
Palate
Full-bodied and precise, with controlled peat smoke that coats the palate. Rich malt sweetness meets Mizunara’s distinctive oak—sandalwood, incense, vanilla, and a whisper of coconut. Spices mingle with dark chocolate as pepper adds lift, leading to a long, resinous finish where smoke and wood linger harmoniously.
Finish
Long, refined finish of restrained peat smoke intertwined with Mizunara spice. Sandalwood and incense notes rise against a warm oak underpin, fading to a polished, resinous sweetness that lingers with elegant, persistent warmth.
