Nose
It seems a little closed and still youthful and unbalanced after pouring. A little time in the glass does it a lot of good. Vanilla, ripe apples, citrus notes, pear, mango, dried apricots, almonds, honey, fine oak spice.
Palate
Powerful start, slightly creamy body. The alcohol is well controlled. Vanilla, apricots, apple sauce, mango cream, toffee, preffer, milk chocolate, marzipan, honey, oak spice.
Finish
Rather short finish. Vanilla, mango, toffee, oak.
Overall Notes
A very nice, fruity bottling, although the components could have done with a few more years of maturation. The Kanosuke Hioki Pot Still (WB244785) actually convinced me even more.
