93, Whisky Advocate
Component whiskies were individually matured in PX, bourbon, French oak, oloroso, and mizunara casks before blending. Complex fresh, floral, and fruity scents of lemon tart, candied orange peel, vanilla, melon, pear, and barley sugar, with aromatic traces of mizunara oak and bergamot. Lemon meringue pie, zesty orange, pepper, caramel, and peach flavors, with developing honey and baked orange notes. The mizunara character shines through in the long, silky finish of ripe summer fruits.
