(Bottle, courtesy of BMan1113VR and ilovedarkbeer) Pours a clear body with a light yellowish hue and excellent legs. Aroma of almonds, peaches, wood, dried strawberries, and pineapple. Flavor of alcohol, almond, and fruity with a dry wood finish.

Pours almost completely clear with a faint yellow glow. Legs like glue. Nose is licorice, weed, blueberries, white peaches. Great mouthfeel like buttered water if that makes sense. (Water and silk maybe) Taste is the same as the nose with a nice fruity warming taste on the back end. Very good just layers of flavor that keep you coming back.

Pours a clear color with a slight green tinge. Ungodly alcohol legs...like nearly frozen vodka. Aroma is quite strong with peaches somee citrus, pineapples and berries. Taste is very fruity and well balanced. The strawberries come through with a hint of almond. Syrupy with a bit of well balanced alcohol. Great stuff!

Shared by the wine buyer for Zipps Liquors. Pours a cloudy white sake with some fine rice particles. Aroma of flowery rice, a touch of pineapple and coconut. Taste is quite smooth, silky with a sweetened rice that would compliment most sushi chefs. Finish is just as smooth and a decent neutral dry sweetness. Awesome!
