Hatozaki Small Batch Japanese Whisky

Like many others, I immediately noticed the floral and fruit sense and it does have the nose of a good tequila. The finish however is smoky and you can definitely tell it's a Japanese whiskey. I'm more of a bourbon and a scotch drinker and I'm just getting into Japanese whiskey so it's hard for me to compare it to anything else. Very enjoyable!

Smells a little like tequila. Pretty nice flavor, smooth up front smokey type flavor with a mid tongue bite near end 1 drop of water - kind of a smokey mezcal smell, similar flavor but more of a bite this time 2 drops - even more mezcally, similar mid tongue burn as 1 drop
