80% Mizunara-finished blend, 20% regular pursuit blend (Virginia, Bardstown, New York sourced bourbons)
Nose
Fresh forest-like quality with floral aspects suggesting cherry blossoms. Clean and garden-fresh without ethanol punch despite 117 proof. Graceful and respectful of the Mizunara oak.
Palate
Bright and savory with green apple and caramel notes. Hints of cinnamon and churro-like sweetness. Rich mouthfeel with excellent viscosity. Spice appears on the front of the tongue rather than the finish.
Finish
Sticky and front-loaded with lingering caramel. Clean finish that doesn't turn dry or tannic.
Overall Score
4.5 / 5
An exceptionally well-integrated Mizunara finish that delivers a garden-fresh nose and bright, savory palate, standing as one of the finest examples of this particular finishing technique.
