Lacks body, short aftertaste. You sense the alcohol burn. There is a strong bourbon-like/ very obvious and potent sweet aroma. I fail to see how Suntory can offer this one at ~US$160. NOT WORTH IT. Please avoid.

Notes of berries, vanilla, and fruit; it's light with a subtle ethanol presence from the grain. The mouthfeel is nice, leaving a clean, pleasant aftertaste with a very faint hint of bitterness at the conclusion. It's very good.
Lacked intensity for my enjoyment, with subtle flavors. It was just okay.
Subtle, yet quite pleasing taste
