Chivas Regal Mizunara 18 Year

Aroma: Sweet and floral rose notes come forward! Wonderful barrel sweetness follows closely with honey and vanilla notes. Very fruity with hints of orange peel and strawberry. This is amazing! I could smell this forever. There's hardly any burn or harshness present. Palate: Smooth and well-rounded. The orange peel and floral sweetness hit immediately. A very light and delicate drink with rich honey. There's a slight oaky bitterness, but it's not overwhelming and actually balances the sweetness well. Juicy fruit bubblegum also appears! Floral notes reappear later but with less initial sweetness. It's not extremely complex, in my opinion, but it delivers well on what it offers. Finish: Clean and pleasant is what I'd call it. It leaves a slightly tannic oak presence. Floral and bright fruit is the last sensation before it gently fades away. A somewhat brief finish that leaves me wanting more.
