Tastes

I went on a month's mission. I tried 50 different whiskeys. This bottle ended up in my top 5. Nose: Floral Palate: Honey, floral, sugar, vanilla. A tiny bit too sweet for my taste so it's more of a dessert Whiskey but still, very interesting.

Delicious! Complexe. A bit strong. Fruits, sugar, spice. A small drop of water and it became very good/easy. Will definitely buy it again.

Nose: Pretty subtle. Light fruits, cinnamon, citrus. Palate: Very surprising. Hitting your tongue with spices (the 48%) , then salt then smooth syrup, raisins. The finish is long. Wow. Very good.

Wow. Nose: Citrus, dessert. Palate: Lemon pie. Sugar. Spices. Bitter/sweet. Very long finish. I won't drink 5 glasses in a row but it's a very good whiskey after diner.

Excellent. Easy. A bit salty, very small amount of peat. A bit of vanilla. Unsure if it's worth the price but it's really good. Very good balance of everything.

It's good! Very subtle and very easy to drink. Nose: Kinda like sitting next to the ocean with flowers in your hand and a candy in your mouth. Taste: Dried fruits, vanilla, floral. Tiny bit salty and spice. Syrup. No peat at all. Unsure if it's worth the price but it's definitely really good. I'm gonna buy it again.

It's a very good whiskey (even more for the price) but there is something I don't like in this bottle. The more I taste different Whiskeys, the more I realize I personally like a bit less the cherry Casks. This one got a "heavy" flavor. Burnt caramel(?) but no peat or smoke. The taste is maybe a bit similar to the Glenfiddich 15 but better.

For a nas Japanese Whiskey, it's amazing. A bit more spicy and alcohol on the tongue compared to the Taketsuru. It's in my top 3 Japanese whiskey. Definetly in my top shelf. In order of my preference as of today: 1- Taketsuru 2 - Nikka from the barrel 3 - Miyagikyo
