Light amber with a sweet malt aroma, as if the long malt spilling from the glass, well matched with other fruits such as orange and red apple. The fragrances originating from Mizunara wood continue to linger along with a nice soft smokiness, and a sweet caramel tones of woodiness finish at last. The flavour of sweet orange peel and brown sugar will be found after a sip, followed by the aftertaste of bitter chocolate melting in the mouth.
