Mars Iwai

Good balance and medium bodied, simple and delicious. It finishes off with a bit of floral notes of jasmine and lavender

It's okay. Pear and Carmel on the nose for me. I can't really define much in taste. In getting toffee, but that's about all I can identify. Still not bad though

Vanilla, caramel, spice

[LOOK] Faint gold [NOSE] Delicate malty and nutty nose, sweet barley, toasted almonds, faint caramel, a surprising touch of vanilla bean and oak. Well contained and round. [PALATE] Grainy and cereal forward, with real interesting breathy and zesty fruit candy notes on the mid palate, fading into a [FINISH] toothpicky, woody, & rough finish. [MOUTHFEEL] Pretty solid until the late palate/finish where the light body & low ABV lose the battle to the abundant oak and youthfulness. Not a bad whisky but I wouldn’t pay more than $30-35 for this. Could see it doing okay in a highball or as a WTF outlier in a club whisky blind. I don’t normally review stuff anymore, but it’s Thanksgiving.
