Oakes (6793), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Jan 28, 2008 Golden-straw colour. Nice legs. Sort of a bland starchy nose. Shaoxing wine with a woody, balsamy aftertaste. Oxidized starchy notes, hints of wood and alcohol. This is one strange brew. CapFlu (3247), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Sep 23, 2007 (300ml bottle) Purchased at JustWines in Langford for $34. Clear deep yellow body. Nose of alcohol, bandaid and quality whiskey. I think I like this sake so much more because there isn’t that normal sake aroma of potato or root vegetable. Sweet apple front, strong whiskey melds into a very distinct maple finish. This stuff is wonderful... and super expensive.
