Tasting Notes

Producer's Note
- Color
  Orange copper.
- Nose
  Its floral depth: pink, lilac, cornflower, tuberose, iris, changing the leather and chocolate milk. Spices that Karuizawa come from a high-powered distillate. There cumin, cloves, nutmeg and cardamom. The malted barley is present. It operates in the baked apple and citrus.
- Palate
  Dense, original. It varies between oak tannins, spices and salted butter caramel. Vanilla, coconut and heady flowers (geranium, lily) exacerbate the mid-palate. Fine, it operates on fresh tobacco, nuts and other flowers (violet, jasmine).
- Finish
  Long, heady. A note highlights the soot aging in bourbon casks. The iris concrete, marmalade, hazelnut, quince jelly, lavender honey, saffron and ripe apples before a heady smell fresh and retro at the same time. Once empty, the glass still testifies to the presence of Karuizawa.
