Poured 2 oz from a 180 ml bottle (no age statement), bought at a FamilyMart in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. It's a nice, clear golden yellow. You can smell caramel, toffee, alcohol, citrus, malt, and spice. Tastes of caramel, toffee, some alcohol, and citrus. It has a medium body with a pleasant warming sensation at the end.
nose: Orchard fruits and burnt sugar. taste: Delicate, sugary, with notes of fruit, wood, botanicals, and pepper. finish: Lingering sweetness with a touch of astringency.
Provides warmth, but not in an entirely pleasant way. Strong alcohol taste and burn.
Smooth, rich, and delightful. This was my first Japanese whisky.
Hints of peat, but predominantly sweet and delightful.
Delightful, rich, and thoroughly enjoyable...
