Tasting Notes,
Nose: Aromas of stewed cherry, orange peel, brown sugar, and wood spice
Palate: is bright and acidic with the kabosu and yomogi notably dialed up, lending notes of black tea, tart cherry, and citrus zest; the ume is prominent throughout, providing subtle marzipan and oxidized fruit notes similar to umeshu (Japanese plum liqueur)
