Chilled on ice, sort of light, not super complex on the palate, short finish, a bit bitter on the end, maybe too much water?

Candied pear. Tropical vanilla. Floral. Excellent.

Nice fruity nose with "funky " oak smell. Palate follows with fruit and vanilla and sandalwood finish. Oily body with nice long finish

Mizunara is the star. Nose on the wine side. Oily with a dry undertone. Hard fruit candies. Low sweetness. Warming oak finish.

Really different. Cedar, strong herbs, mint, not a smooth drink but an interesting one for sure.
