Fukano Whisky 10 Year

An elegant, Japanese Whisky by the Fukano family Distillery in Hitoyoshi, Japan made with malted rice, distilled in stainless steel stills, aged for a full decade in Brandy puncheons. It has an aromatic birth with notes of florals, mixed citrus & sandalwood; while a complex & silky life adds notes of warm sake, exotic spices, mint, white plum & marmalade; that leads to a rich death of medium length with notes of marzipan, raisins, orange & oak.

Dark malty aroma. Super strong vanilla flavor, rich but a little sickly sweet. Heavy barley, some wood.

My palate is somewhat wrecked so I need another taste. But I like what I'm tasting! Mild and smooth. There's a subtle buttery candy/carmel taste to it that's quite nice.

dry finish, a little sharp. sort of light so it gives a flatter impression even though it's not thin.

Sweet and smooth, but sweet isn’t my jam

Unique! Marmalade backbone. then raisin & mild plum. The raisin is super prominent with the orange marmalade Marzipan adds creamy.
