Tastes

My first Japanese whisky. Side not, you spell it with a Y if it’s not from Scotland 😉. So as usual I go off the fist taste, and holy shit this is what the rich folks would say “ exquisite” lol. You can spell the smoothness right off the bat, kinda like a sweet smell but not like a bourbon. It has that scotch taste with a bit smoke to it. Loved it

Folks... I’m not impressed. The first initial taste was very harsh and bland. The rocks had to kick in for it to be enjoyable. With the rocks it gave it a smooth taste like its rare cask. The smell was very faint. Wouldn’t try it again

This drink is as smooth as a freshly shaved dolphin. It wasn’t harsh on the palate on the first taste either which was great, I even had the blue label and it still wasn’t as smooth as this bad boy. That sherry cask is what sells it🤔. The smell wasn’t harsh on the nose but you can smell the cherry. It highly recommend for those not in favor of the peat!

If you love Peaty scotch then this is the one! The first initial taste just lights you up like a cold night by the Christmas tree... whatever that means lol. It has this slight wood taste that will put some hair in your chest. Goes great with a steak too. The smell is a deep smoked wood with a pinch of cherry, gives you a feeling of being a log cabin. Highly recommend my dude or dudette

Not as Smokey as would like it to be, but it’s decent for a blended scotch. What I like is that it’s not harsh on the palate. If you’re looking to save some money or venture into the peaty smoky scotch then I suggest it
