Tasting Notes
Nose: Dried fruit (raisin, fig), orange peel, vanilla, honey, cocoa, cedar, sandalwood, subtle incense and spice.
Palate: Silky texture; dark fruit, orange marmalade, toffee, cocoa; spice notes (cinnamon, clove); Mizunara wood influence with gentle oak.
Finish: Long, warm; sandalwood and incense linger with cocoa and dried fruit hints. Overall: Elegant and well-integrated; the Mizunara finish adds a signature oriental woodiness without overpowering the Yamazaki foundation.
