Can from Asda, Wycombe. Gold with a white head. The aroma is less peach and more pot pourri, and it's also heavily floral on the first taste - too much so for me. I guess it might be peach blossom but it's definitely not peach. It's also initially quite bitter and watery. However on drinking more it mellows quite a bit and actually becomes rather refreshing by the end. A touch of gingery crumble topping in the finish was a pleasant surprise. Overall then it was much better by the end than I first feared, but it's still slightly sub-par.

Bottle from Amazon. Champagne colour, although with no fizz. Spirit/alcohol is quite strong on the nose, but apart from a light burn it's well hidden whilst drinking this. Strongly floral up front - I'm not good on floral whiffs, but I'm thinking of heady ones like magnolia and honeysuckle maybe? Plenty of honey, before a fruitiness develops - I'm getting plums and oranges with fruity chewing gum. There's cinnamon (giving Christmassy hints) and boiled rice in the finish. It's sweet, but with just enough dryness to balance, and it's got a much fuller, richer mouthfeel than other sakes I've tried. I don't know much about sakes (this is only my fifth one), but this is certainly the most full-flavoured & richest one I've had. If I had to put it into beer terms I'd probably compare it to a barley wine - the sort of thing you'd have as a slow evening sipper, or for a celebration. It's a winner for me!

Bottle from Castle Howard Farm Shop, near Malton. Hazy yellowy-orange with a light fizz. Lovely fresh appley aroma. Definitely dry, but there's some sweet apple behind. A touch of farmyard but quite a clean taste with a hint of vanilla. Very tasty, very more-ish, and dangerously easy-drinking. A lovely cider.
