I only review whiskies, and I try to keep it short and sweet.... and backlogged with nearly 450 reviews I have yet to post on the app. 🤦🏽‍♂️

  • Yamazakura Fine Blended Whisky

    Blended — Japan

    Quite the disappointment. The nose is for the most part smoky with hints of fruit (which for the life of me I cannot figure out because it's so tasteless), the palate falls flat without body, and the finish just isn't there. Picture a blend of water, sugar and cigarette.

    Surprisingly decent. There's a bit of a burn in the finish, and that takes away from the overall pleasure of this whisky, but both the nose and palate are pleasing. Imagine sweet breakfast cereal without the milk.

    It has taken me three different occasions to finally PARTIALLY appreciate this whiskey. The hints of pear and caramel are wonderful, but the burn is terrible. Though not unpardonable, this whisky is largely forgettable.

    Outstanding. This truly is a perfect whisky, and the oak perfectly complements it, offering a balanced taste and satisfying finish.

    Pleasant hints of toffee and moss, lightly peated, a fantastic mouthfeel, and a delicious yet short finish. This is a great whisky that merits 4 stars.

    Blended scotches aren't my cup of tea, but this isn't bad. It's ever so lightly peated and spicy. Lacks both body and finish, but it's not much to complain about considering the price.

    Dare I say perfect? The nose is wonderfully reminiscent of caramel squares candies, and the palate is just the right amount of peat (and slightly saline). The entire experience is well-balanced, with a wonderful finish that makes you wish for more. A true accomplishment!

    Spicier than the 12, with a pleasant fruity nose and an able body. The finish feels like an Academy speech that requires the orchestra to cut short the winner, particularly because the spice is poorly balanced, but overall a decent whisky.

    Though as exciting as a geriatric convention, its hints of pears is pleasant. The palate is predominantly spice and the finish nearly nonexistent. It's a decent enough whiskey, but in my opinion a poor representation of the speyside region.

    A light citrus nose, lightly body, and pleasant but hasty finish. There's peat, a little bit of smoke, and a nice touch of caramel. Picture having an improved Aberfeldy 12 with a lighter - the lighter because you're burning half your money.
