smooth, easy drinking. Caramel, oak, vanilla. Pleasantly surprised with it.

2015 and pretty incredible. Such a smooth drink.

Tasted at the BIC Camera in Akasaka, Tokyo, Japan. This bottle is just sitting on the shelf of tasting bottles, but not on the menu. Absolutely no idea how long it has been there. The nose is peanut, tinge of caramel, woody, and slight cardboard. The taste carries forward the peanut, but in a sugary melted peanut caramel brittle sense. The barrel notes from the nose are completely gone in this sweeter than anticipated taste. The finish is short, sweet, and a bit thin, with slight ethanol.

Good but not as good as the Willett pot I just had
