Nobushi Japanese Whisky

Very peaty

Vanilla, kaneel, hint of smoke,

Pleasant, but illegally smooth and lacks any character.

Definitely scotch taste. Peaty like scotch when nosed. The palate was light with a hint of pear like scotch.

Japanese whisky can be great, but can also be disappointing like the Suntory Toki I had last year. The nose is a bit flat and too alcoholic, which makes it hard to divide the scents. Lightly sweet and smoky in smell. In the mouth a tad bitter but opens up to a sweet combination of fresh pears, woodchips and pie bottom. Still a bit bitter, though. Hints of coffee. There is a lingering whiff of smoke throughout the process. All together the taste is flat and uninteresting. Bitter aftertaste as well, with a little bit of anise and brown sugar. It's just not interesting. Boring flavours, barely any layers. Will not buy again.
