Product details
From the heart of Akita Prefecture, this product emerges as a remarkable interpretation of time and place. At the helm is the storied house which has embraced long-term maturation as part of its creative vision, focusing on depth of flavour and elegant character rather than mere immediacy. This rare expression is crafted by gently ageing a carefully selected blend of vintages for a full decade, then resting it in chestnut barrels to allow subtle forest-wood nuances to infuse with the underlying grain. The result is both refined and bold—a product of deliberate patience, regional terroir, and an ethos that honours tradition while embracing creative ageing.
On the nose, it unfurls with mellow aromas of caramelised grain, ripe orchard fruit, and a whisper of toasted nuts. The palate offers a rich, rounded mouth-feel with savoury umami depth, layered with roasted chestnut, honeyed malt, and a warm undercurrent of dried fruit. Its finish is long and thoughtful, carrying echoes of toasted wood and gentle bitterness that linger without heavy intrusion—evoking a special moment of reflection and enjoyment. Pairing beautifully with roast beef, a creamy Mont d’Or cheese, hearty meat pies or a comforting pumpkin soup, it invites a convivial and memorable experience.
