Masataka devoted himself into creating this whisky soon after his wife Rita?s death to represent his deep love for her. He could never have accomplished his dream to make genuine whisky in Japan without the support from Rita.
On the nose, it's malty, with notes of cooked apples, porridge oats, pear, beeswax and honey.
The palate is rich and malty. This is a simple blend, but one of great quality and balance. Notes of orange zest, toffee and oak, with hints of peanut butter and cocoa.
On the finish there's a decent length with stewed fruits, cloves, a hint of cinnamon and digestive biscuits.
