Excellent! I compared this to the old one. It’s similar but differs on the finish. The nose is pretty. Bubble gum accompanied by green apples, a hint of anise somewhere in the distance and even mist follows. I also got a spray of orange juice (citrus) as if someone was freshly squeezing a few nearby. The smoke is barely there on the nose but it follows on the finish. The finish is medium short but more of the same from nose. The only difference is you notice a bit of that smoke from Yoichi on the way down. Overall very good. Similar to the original bottle, mostly Miyagikyo for sure just not as much of a Sherry influence in this release but excellent. 91/100
