Kurayoshi Pure Malt Whisky

One Japanese whisky i have seen a lot lately is this Kurayoshi Blended malt, but i always passed on buying it. The good news are, that a good friend of mine bought it and shared a couple of glasses for my to rate. On the nose, i get Grapefruit juice, also a light apple juice. It is actually super light; Super farmy fresh. Pear peel. Pear is an exact aroma note here. On the palate, more Pears. Super fruity and fresh. I can feel grain whisky after a couple of seconds (and i shouldn't since this is a blended malt, allegedly). Marshmallows. It has a fruity aftertaste. Fresh. Pears, hay and recently cut grass. Overall, i can understand why people like this one, as you can enjoy a very easy and fruity Glenfiddich 12yo. Increibly easy to drink, and enjoyable enough for an unexperienced drinker, you can share this dram with everyone and no one will ever say this is a bad dram. For me, it is too normal and fruity, and i can get a standard 'fiddich' for less price. My score for it is 80 over 100.

Flaviar advent-Rice, weird bitter finish, something I'm not accustomed to. Will try more.

Bright, pear, cereal, oily

Nutty nose and taste with a sharp finish

Macadamia and pine nut tastes. A little harsh.
