Bad Japanese Whiskies do not exist. That is a true fact. This Single malt, is no exception to that rule. This is a solid Whisky in the nose and palate. Bottled at 43%abv, with an insanely white wine color (almost transparent). On the nose is a mixture between Japanese and scotch Whiskies: Sherry, Brown cake, Raisins, Oranges, Wet grass, Lemons, Liquorice, Cinammon and Honey. On the palate it is a little straightforward: Tobbacco and pepper are the main notes. Slight caramel, Liquorice. Long finish, Hot with lots of character. Overall i give this excelent dram an 87 over 100 (almost a 4.5). Cheers!
