Tastes

Previous entry still holds up; the disparate elements just do not wholly connect for me. For someone else, they might.

Rather generic, yet the sherry and light fruit are briefly revealed. Not the char/smoke that one may expect. Not bad though probably better as part of cocktail.

If "traditional" label can be put on Japanese whiskey, the base of this dram qualifies.... Light, fruity, easy to drink. The other expected notes are there though: mostly smoke and spice. A lot to like though I feel like the blending of the two elements is not as smooth as some well regarded Scotch bottles.

Intriguing, almost a lemon tartness on nose, which does not appear at all when tasting. Smooth and approachable, light fruit, faint hints of honey and earthiness.
