Suntory Royal

strong flavor, very suntory strong

Smooth sailing from start to finish. Vanilla, caramel & orange zest are up first. Some nice, yet light cinnamon spice sits on the tongue. Ends somewhat malty with underlying cocoa, toffee and brown butter. Short finish. Easy sipper but nothing special.

Tasting a sample from a 1984 United Airlines sponsor item for the Hawaiian Open. The bottle was closed in a porcelain head dress for 36 years before seeing the light of day. The dram was lively and showed no signs of being stored for so long. Taste reminds me of a very good scotch blend.
