Tasting Notes

"This rice whisky is deceptively soft on the nose, with a sherry cask influence that comes through much more strongly on the palate. It's nutty with notes of almond, dates, and leather; a hint of vanilla lingers on the finish. It's a elegant whisky, light in body but with complex layers of flavor."
