About
A slightly amber color. An aroma that suggests a touch of sweetness. A smooth, viscous mouthfeel. A sweetness reminiscent of sanontō (a partially refined Japanese brown sugar), yet with a dry character. Woody spice and toasted biscuit notes. Hints of sansho (Japanese pepper) and yuzu citrus. A complex, lingering finish.
