On the nose a creamy, aromatic melange of vanilla custard, hints of aniseed, lemon curd and butter toffee. Wood shavings and dried banana chips develop with just a hint of cassis.

Light spice and black pepper on the tail. Lingering notes of cereal sweetness.

A crisp, light nose offering up notes of toffee apples, hints of dried flowers and biscuity barley. Balanced, biscuit-laden palate with a core of thick, creamy malt. Just a hint of spice and the vaguest whisper of smoke really bring a great deal of complexity. A slightly sweet, malty finish.

Classic Yamazaki strawberries and dried fruits with floral notes coming from the Mizunara cask whisky. Fragrant sandalwood and maybe coconut. Certainly, a whisky where you could get lost in its nose!

Vanilla lasts and lasts, with spicy but sweet cinnamon acting as a final flourish.

Gristy, supple nuttiness intertwined with spices. Honeyed sultanas and grapes. Hugely inviting. Sweet with good body.
