Sensory Profile
Nose
The nose offers a gentle bouquet of ripe orchard fruits — green apple and white peach — layered with soft vanilla cream, toasted cereal malt, and a faint whisper of floral blossom. There is a characteristic Japanese elegance here, with nothing jarring or overstated.
Palate
On the palate, honeyed malt takes centre stage, accompanied by warm vanilla, a touch of dried apricot sweetness, and a subtle undercurrent of ginger spice that adds just enough complexity without disrupting the whisky's inherent smoothness.
