Last wee tasting of the summer

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. More or less colorless, clear and oily. Weak on the nose, with a pleasant, subtle apricot touch. Hints of rice and alcohol. Fruity flavor with both apricot and apples, all quite subtle. The rice and alcohol are quite subdued, but there’s a warming touch to it. Medium, oily mouthfeel. Lasting finish with alcohol and some fruity hints. A quite nice one, subtle all the way, but well balanced. 110129

Bottle. Light and a bit thin, not a whole lot of flavor but nothing off either. A bit of spice, fruit, rice. Decent but forgetable.
