Part three in a trilogy of whiskies aged in casks seasoned with Japanes green tea, in this case Hojicha. Casks: 100% Hojicha-saturated Ex-Bourbon casks, 200L (matured whisky from 2013) Notes according to Mackmyra: Nose: The nose is sweet with both fruit sweetness and vanilla. Apricot and mango harmonize with vanilla fudge. There is a certain sweet citrus present, as well as hints of pine resin and licorice. Taste: The taste is fresher than the nose with more pronounced citrus and herbal notes, but the fruitiness and vanilla are still present. Slightly bitter tea and nut tones land deep in the taste. Finish: The aftertaste is crisp and medium-length with a mild tea character. A nutty undertone complements the distinct herbal tones nicely. Far into the finish, the tropical fruits make a comeback.
