    Distinguished in its sophistication, this Komagatake, which has a phenol content of 50 ppm, was aged for six years and eight months in one of the cellars of the Tsunuki distillery on the island of Kyushu. Distinct by its subtropical climate, this region of southern Japan, where the angel's share reaches 6% annually, offers unmatched maturing conditions for whiskies. Evolving with the rhythm of an initially pervasive peat which, over time, eventually melts into its many other tones, the aromatic and flavour expression of this version, with its remarkable purity of character, pushes back ever further its natural boundaries.

    Nose : Lavish and full-bodied. Saturated with smoke and omnipresent peat, the aromatic palette also exhales scents of candied fruit (lemon, pear), Bourbon vanilla, almond milk and fleur de sel. When left to aerate, medicinal notes (balsam), incense and artichoke bottoms give it a lively, creamy profile.

    Palate : Strong and lively. The palate is more exotic (banana, pineapple), with peat and smoke slightly in the background. The mid-palate is very ethereal, with an absolutely delectable malty flavour journey (flan). As it progresses, its fruity character (pear, mirabelle plum) becomes more notable.

    Overall : Refreshing and well-polished. A perfect convergence of nose and palate, the finish evolves at its own will from peaty and earthy to fruity and vanilla. As the palate moves back and forth, it becomes increasingly malty and tenderly herbaceous (cut hay, barley grain), enveloped in a deliciously briny and saline aura.
