TASTING NOTES

Nose: A lush bouquet of red berries, plum jam, and floral honey. Deeper notes of sandalwood and light spice emerge, providing a sophisticated and well-rounded aroma.

Palate: The mouthfeel is incredibly silky and coating, delivering flavors of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and creamy vanilla. The Port influence is well-integrated, adding depth without overpowering the malt.

Finish: Long and graceful, with lingering notes of sweet red fruit and a touch of dry oak. The final sensation is one of refined elegance and berry-led sweetness.

Calligraphy Beast - Rising (2023)

Airi's signature style hides meaningful text within the composition. Inside the dragon's body are concealed Japanese characters.

Use the included UV torch to reveal the secret message:

「世の人は我を何とも言わば言え 我なす事は我のみぞ知る」

"Whatever people may say about me, I know what I'm doing."

This powerful quote is attributed to Sakamoto Ryōma (坂本龍馬), the legendary 19th-century samurai, visionary, and key figure in Japan's transition from the Edo period to the modern Meiji era.

His words embody unshakeable self-belief and determination in the face of criticism—perfectly mirroring the bold, rising spirit of this beast-like dragon.
