Sensei Japanese Whiskey

Mizunara addition

Honestly, I rolled the dice and it’s not the worst I’ve ever done. It’s pretty astringent on the nose, but a drop of water clears that up a bit. Pretty sweet, reminds me of Old Crow bourbon. I won’t buy this one again, but it’s not as bad as these apparent Basil Hayden drinkers say it is. It’s just not a nice whiskey and that’s okay.

Very round wooden taste, almost nail polish remover sickly sweet nose, minimal burn.

Nose is heavy Isopropyl Alcohol (rubbing alcohol) with a little sour wood smell at the end. The harshness on the nose is diluted when watered or iced (tried both) but the sourness of this spirit does not abate. The oak can be tasted but it is covered by an odd sour taste that one might charitably regard as funk but not done well. When Iced there is a bit of smoke that comes through but it does little to help the flavor. Avoid at $20 dollars, you have better options even at that price, much less the $40 msrp.

Citrus. Sour mouth feel

Wow that is extremely burny. Not a great flavor. A Poor example
