Tasting Notes

Colour

rich gold

air Nose

it’s not the first time I feel this, Japanese oak can actually impart some notes of… rum and cane sugar. It’s very vivid and obvious here, there are even touches of bananas and coconut oil. Other than that, we have incense, sandalwood and then more fresh orange juice. It’s a lovely nose

restaurant Palate

there is something a notch too tannic and tea-ish, but otherwise it’s all very fine, delicately spicy (cardamom) and with just a wee touch of dustiness (or is that sawdust?) These spices are unusual, it’s hard to put some names on them… Maybe I should hire some Asian friends?

timer Finish

long, probably a little too tannic and drying now but hey, the profile remains fun
