Crisp apple and slight amounts of phenolic and Smokey pear. Adding some water and waiting 25-35 minutes let’s the nose become richer (more honey and rich apple pie notes - think to the malt mash at the hakushu distillery, it’s right there). It’s extremely soft and delicate throughout especially after waiting and adding water. Again wish I had a bottle of this - had this at the Yamazaki and hakushu distillery for 2900yen per shot.
