84 / 100
The Mizunara cask is an interesting detail, but oak does not have a clear place in the described character. Apple, cinnamon and sandalwood lead into apricot, white peach and kumquat, while the finish brings honeyed sweetness, citrus peel and a gentle trace of peat. That balance sounds appealing, though the oak connection feels less defined.
