Product details
Born in the cool alpine climate of Nagano Prefecture, this limited 2024 edition reflects a legacy of craftsmanship rooted in balance and innovation. Carefully nurtured in new American oak and ex-bourbon barrels before spending six months in Minami Shinshu IPA casks, it captures the essence of mountain purity and creative refinement. The absence of peat in this release highlights the natural brightness of its profile, allowing vivid layers of citrus and floral hop character to unfold with precision. Every detail — from the selection of casks to the unfiltered presentation — underscores the maker’s pursuit of clarity, texture, and a seamless expression of malt and oak harmony.
From the first impression, vibrant notes of grapefruit zest, lime, and fresh blossoms greet the senses, supported by a gentle sweetness of vanilla and soft malt. As it evolves, waves of orange peel, honeyed grain, and subtle green undertones add depth and freshness. The finish is elegantly bittersweet — crisp and lingering — echoing with bright citrus tones and a refined, hop-inspired liveliness that leaves a clean, invigorating afterglow.
