    Exciting stuff! Nose reminiscent of a mixture of cognac and foursquare rum. Taste could be for me an absolutely horny cask strength cognac or even Armagnac, barely ticks, very harmonious, strong and tasty! Please more of it Japan!🙌🏼🇯🇵😁🤤 Has at the 2nd tasting something of shochu or sake.

    Very unique aroma and flavor profile. I really like it!

    An interesting new type of rum with facets of sake and cognac

    The nose is very impressive with tropical notes. Palate can't quite keep up with the nose, but nice complexity with Armagnac, sake.
