TASTING NOTES - KIRIN FUJI SANROKU

Nose

deeply influenced by the barrel, with juicy, intense and ripe red fruit (red apple, plum and raisins), also developing a nice sweetness of caramel.

Palate

the high ABV results quite well integrated and pushes the warm and enveloping sherried sensations. The sugary side is relevant. The raisins are more marked than the nose and reach the intensity of plum. Red apple is confirmed. Sweet and persuasive spices. Brown sugar.

Finish

medium-long, again developing juicy red fruit and sweet spices of wood

Kirin Fuji Sanroku is overall a sherried spirit, in which the woods have deeply marked the distillate giving an intense character. The main limitation of the product is the lack of more complex dimensions, which could make the drink slightly static. Alcohol is however very well integrated.
