Mars Iwai Tradition

Significantly better than the standard Iwai

Tastes of vanilla, honey, citrus, and cherry. This is an extremely friendly, effortless whisk(e)y that reminds me of a decent sweet scotch.

Wow. This is amazing. Has a spicy, almost cinnamon taste at the beginning, with an orange aftertaste. SO incredibly smooth that it is difficult not to drink all at once. Definitely will be in my cabinet.

Nose: Peat, smoke burning leaves Palate: Honey, cherry Finish: Smoking oak

Japanese old fashioned - Demerara , black walnut bitters

Flaviar advent calendar: First thing that hit the tastebuds are the smoke and peat. Didn’t expect that - but really enjoyable. Behind that comes the caramel and cherry, before the sweet grape shows up and wave at you from the distance. Pretty sure this one will end up on my shelf one day.
