720 ml bottle. Deep golden color, viscous. Nose is oak, vanilla, caramel, prunes, raisins, funky aged koji. Rich and over the top. Flavor is sweet, lots of bourbon-esque barrel, vanilla, dried fruits, raisin, prunes. Huge, almost too much. Silky, velvety body. Great stuff.

Taster at Jam Bar. Nose is citrus and stone fruit, bit of caramel. Very bright, fruity citrus flavor with apples too. Nice and fresh.

Small bottle. Dusty, musty nose, esters, peach, melon, a bit funky. Slightly yellow tinted. Flavor of koji, rice, estery fruits, some hot alcohol. Leaning towards a yamahai flavor. Nice.
