Soft sandalwood and floral incense rise immediately, followed by notes of honeycomb, green tea, toasted coconut, and roasted peanuts. Subtle rye spice hides beneath the elegant wood aromas.
Palate:

Finish:
Long and refined with lingering baking spices, nutmeg, and delicate oak tannins. The toasted Mizunara offers a graceful, dry, and aromatic conclusion.

Zachary Allen –
The oak and sweetness were nicely balanced. I served it chilled and it opened up nicely. The oak was pleasant, the pepper gave it some depth, and the finish stayed easygoing. I would keep this around for a casual night at home.
