Nose: Raspberries, menthol, Cherries Flambe, caramelized orange slices, orange soaked oak, walnuts, toffee, brandy, touch of shoe polish, Hokkaido baked cheese cake.
Palate: Rum & Raisin, Cherry Ripes, Turkish Delight melted over an open flame, Orange Flambe, ginger candies, some tea tannin, old leather.
Finish: Menthol, oak, apple cake, Arnotts BBQ Shapes, raisin toast, then some solid oak tannin’s.
Last Word: Finish a little unbalanced on the dry/tannic side compared to some Single Sherry Cask Yama’s I’ve tasted but still more than satisfying. Nose was the highlight.
*Tasted at Malt Bar SouthPark Tokyo
