A golden copper color shows up in the glass with fruitty aromas of peach and citrus, vanilla, warm spices (cinnamon), chocolate and a mild peat and smoke hint. The palate is fresh and balanced with more citrus, vanilla, caramel, oak spice, and

they are fermented by a unique strain of yeast (Hakushu Distillery has thousands of unique strains in its arsenal) in wooden washbacks

This single malt is silky and sumptuous with aromas and flavors of vanilla
