This is an interesting one in that it's a grain spirit (corn) instead of malted barley. Almost like a Japanese take on bourbon.
Nose: Heavy vanilla, honey, lemon peel, and some background notes of corn sweetness, hay, and bread dough.
Flavor: Sweet vanilla custard all the way! Uncomplicated but I like the clear flavors coming through.
Finish: More sweet vanilla and honey but some oak transitioning to a dry slightly tannic finish. Just a hair nutty as well.
Very uncomplicated and not at all challenging but sweet and delicious. More of an after dinner dessert type drink for me than something I want to sip with a burger. Regardless I'm a fan.
