Tasting Notes

Colour

Golden amber with a warm honey glow and a soft, pink-tinged shimmer from the Sakura cask.

Nose

A rich aroma with notes of mint, chocolate, and cedar.

Palate

On the palate, malt-led richness unfolds into biscuity sweetness, while honeyed citrus and orchard fruits build a bright, layered mid-palate. Delicate sakura notes weave through, lending a subtle floral lift that remains balanced and refined.

Finish

Silky, lingering finish that reveals evolving dark chocolate nuances, with a refined cocoa warmth that slowly fades into a lasting, elegant impression.
