Another 200ml bottle shared by my old friend living in Japan, designed for the native market, with almost no English on the label. Nose: Delicate, tart kiwi (tell-tale mizunara oak), sweet Dijon mustard, gingerbread with a seam of lemon zest throughout. Sadly lacks the rosewater note I recall from the 12 year bottling. Palate: Zesty, baking spices arrive first, transitions through vanilla to a floral soapiness. Finish: Full and bittersweet, hint of pickled ginger with a distant light waft of charcoal lingering longest. To my memory, not as enjoyable as the 12, but still seething with quality... Dry glass: hemp rope.
