Suntory Toki

Light with a peppery finish

VERY bright, very sweet. Pretty aggressive at the first taste. Floral. Interesting sensation of the taste hitting my middle tongue, rising, and falling over a few seconds.

Niet mijn ding goed om te mixen

Dit vind ik niks. Heftig in smaakprofiel maar geen lekkere smaak.

I really liked the Akashi Red and the Tenjaku blended whisky and thus decided to try the Suntory Toki, which is in the same price range. I see good ratings, so I have good expectations. Very light colour, almost 'beerish'. Sweet scent of vanilla sugar and licor 43, sweetness overload. Dried apricots and pineapple. Tropical. Light and mellow in the mouth, white chocolate, vanilla. But: barely any fruitiness. I miss the layers of freshness and crisp acidity. Bit too soft too. Hardly any burn. Doesn't linger. Aftertaste is too short. It's nice, but not a frequent flyer for me.

Neat nose: old granny smith palate: smoky tartness finish: oily peppered stone fruit
