EXPLORATION: Wafts of butterscotch, barley, and a touch of banana pudding greet the nose. The arrival is silky sweet cereal that blooms into bitter toffee. A delightful apricot finish lingers just long enough.
Sounds pretty good, now that I mention it.
EXHORTATION: Seek a bottle if you’re in the market for approachability and complexity entwined. Other bottles in the Nikka family might be a bit more affordable and just as fine. Will seek further.
