Shinozaki Distillery Amagi Honkaku Reserve Special Selection (Park Avenue)

"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."

"Exciting! Intense, fruity nose. Slightly salty, wild, intense. Embedded in soju notes and a hint of fruity cognac. Finish unfortunately a little short, but still very good!"

"Was excited to try this one and did not disappoint. Super inviting nose, sweet with candied fruit, oak, chocolate. Strong but balanced mouth, some brine and chocolate with a hint of raisin and caramel. I like it a lot. The finish is long and lingering with many layers. Great complexity, nearly a 8.5 for me, glad I have a bottle. It’s not what I was expecting and by far one of the more interesting rum’s I have enjoyed in recent months"

"Exciting but unfortunately not that complex."

"Interesting mix. It’s good rum with the hint of sake and an aftertaste of the cognac. Quality unique sipper."
