Nikka Gold & Gold Samurai

I found this bottle unattended, hanging from a hook in the mens bathroom at the airport. The nose is sweet, with a bit of a fruit smell. I am not particularly fond of it, but don't hate it. The taste is smoky and oeaty with just a slight bitter finish. Not the best thing I ever had, but I like it enough to drink it slowly. LOVE the bottle.

Bright and vanilla on the nose, already some hints of harshness. Oaky. Tastes brittle, not overly complex, hints of maltiness and sweetness but quickly overwhelmed by bitterness. Water opens up sweetness a bit but the bitterness will not be denied. Seems young and best suited for a cocktail.
