Maturation had begun in October 2019, and the spirit was beginning to acquire oak aromas. In June 2025, a visit reunited the team with the now five-year-old cask. After careful trials with distillation manager Inoue, they chose to reduce it to 49%, revealing a soft opening, clear sugar-cane flavour and a spicy development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInoue described the red Barbados lilies growing in his garden in Laos.
