Nose: Notes of agave, pears, yeast, sawdust, vanilla, unripened bananas. Still very new makee!
Palate: Starts with a spicy kick. Lemon merangue, grapefruit, agave, yeast, Brazil nuts, pears, honey. Light bodied.
Finish: Fades fairly quickly on lemon merangue, agave, yeast and green apples.
Last Word: Fundamently there is nothing particularly wrong with this, it’s just not complex compared to the likes of Chichibu and Kanosuke of the same age. After tasting all 4 Foundation botllings, for mine, Akkeshi will need to lift their game considerably by the time their 1st 3YO single Malt is realeased in February 2020.
