Tasting Notes

Nose

Expressive aromas of baked apple, honeyed malt, citrus peel, and soft vanilla. Hints of dried herbs, toasted oak, and a touch of gentle smoke add depth.

Palate

Rich, warm, and full of Tsunuki’s signature intensity. Flavors of caramelized malt, ripe pear, stone fruits, and sweet spices unfold. Mid-palate brings notes of ginger, white pepper, and light tannic oak, creating a balanced and layered profile.

Finish

Long, warming, and slightly earthy. Lingering notes of oak spice, malt sweetness, dried fruit, and a faint whisper of smoke that gently fades.
