What do reviewers say about Close Up and Oajan?
Close Up doesn't play it safe, and that's the whole point. The sour cherry opening is confrontational, almost biting. But beneath it, tobacco and coffee build something worth staying for.Close Up
Oajan doesn't whisper. The cinnamon hits hard and the honey never lets go, but the osmanthus and artemisia keep it from becoming a sugar bomb. Not subtle, but never crude either.Oajan
