Tasting Notes

Nose

Aromatic and inviting with notes of dried apricot, pear, honeyed malt, and citrus peel. Hints of toasted oak, soft spice, and a touch of herbal freshness add complexity.

Palate

Rich, warm, and flavorful. Layers of sweet malt, caramel, and vanilla unfold first, followed by ripe stone fruits and subtle tropical notes. Mid-palate brings gentle peppery spice, ginger warmth, and structured oak—reflecting Tsunuki’s robust maturation climate.

Finish

Long, earthy, and satisfying. Lingering flavors of malt sweetness, oak spice, dried fruit, and a faint mineral edge that rounds out the profile beautifully.
