Cask# 288 Abv: 41.9% Actually a kome honkaku shochu aged in oak, so the abv is likely near the actual cask strength Nose:vanilla, oak, sweet Palate: eggnog,sweet creamy vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove Finish:eggnog continues for a bit, then lingering vanilla and oak dryness
First opening smelled like acetone. Tasted very light with lots of vanilla cream. Some fruit. Opens up really nicely. Nose goes to caramel and fruit. Taste really nice barrel spice that is more like cedar or spruce. Dark fruits and leather. nice medium length finish.
Coming from the mindset historically of a bourbon or scotch drinker. This was a welcomed change with a long soft finish. Very smooth with a fruity quality.
Better than ohishi sherry cask. A bourbony flavor with hints of plum
Rich nutmeg, cinnamon, eggnog. Smooth, vanilla, piney finish.
Definitely sweeter, but balanced
Closest flavor profiles across the whole catalog.
