Cold. The moment you take it in your mouth, a rich, round, apricot-like aroma and a light aroma of ripening spread out in a whiff. The nose has a slightly acidic, gentle aroma of esters. The mouthfeel is better than I expected, with a hint of rice flavor, and the alcohol and acidity finishes it off nicely.
Compared to the last Hekpan, the impression is quite different, the aroma of ethyl caproate is gone, and it has more body to give us an aroma of maturation like the sake brewing. My favorite is the former, but this one is also good.
