Tasting Notes
"The 12 year release could make a claim for being the best-balanced whisky in the Kurayoshi line. It's heavier in body, with notes of vanilla and hazelnut resting comfortably alongside the whisky's notable brininess. On the finish, a subtle smokiness lingers. If there's one to try in the in the Kurayoshi line, this may be it."
