The spectacular aromas from this marriage of two mizunara casks filled in 2000 needs to be experienced; an intense array of floral notes, white pear, yuzu, parma violets, lavender hand soap, sandalwood, gently burning incense, nutmeg, vanilla sponge cake, and ground almond. Tropical fruit flavors abound with mango and papaya, plus baked stone fruits and exotic wood spices, ending with an impressive interplay between creamy oak, incense, nutmeg, coconut, and ground cinnamon.
