Tasting Notes

"This is Kurayoshi's entry level malt whiskey. It's light and approachable, with a cereal backbone accented by honey, fresh pear, and jasmine. The whisky dries out on the finish, leaving a bit of salt and grain. Though not the most complex whisky, it's easy to enjoy for casual drinking."
