Mars Komagatake Bakemono Zukushi Emaki No. 1 Oyashirome Single Cask Bourbon Barrel Matured, 64%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2024 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Japanese Single Malt
Refreshing aromas of watermelon, ripening strawberry, ground pepper, cherry mochi, taffy, and a hint of kiwi. This comes in pretty hot on the palate, with strawberry, cranberry, Red Vines, pepper, red chile, baked apple, pear, raspberry, rowanberry, and a hint of chocolate. The fruit fades quickly in the finish, with water bringing out milk chocolate and quelling the heat and power of this cask-strength bottling. (U.S. exclusive)
