Replacement candidate from the recent shipment, lower than Special Grade. It produced the lightest liquor and retained creaminess and body after the break. Its vessel matched the dark sample but not the benchmark.
Dry aroma: Milky and creamy
Wet aroma: Creamy and green, with an umami or kombu association
Taste: Round and creamy; slight bitterness when over-extracted; powdered-milk association
Mouthfeel: Good body and the most comfortable of the three; body reduced in the later over-extracted round
Finish: Maintained flavor well as the liquor cooled
