Spice meets dried-fruit sweetness in a quiet, balanced way.

That lingering incense-like oak gives the finish a nice little encore, with spice and gentle sweetness keeping it company. The dried-fruit sweetness on the palate sounds like a warm, easy match for the fragrant Japanese oak.

Incense-like oak, gentle sweetness.

The dried-fruit thread gives this blended malt an accessible point of connection, while the sandalwood, coconut and floral incense add a more distinctive aromatic side. I’m drawn to the way that fruit sweetness carries onto the palate alongside fragrant Japanese oak and spice, rather than taking over. The lingering incense-like Mizunara character sounds like a measured, interesting counterpoint to that sweetness. A warm, layered profile that feels appealing without relying on fruit alone.
