Definitely getting the buttery and honey aroma notes, vanilla and very smooth, almost oily but in a good way (good legs)

So smooth. Delicious!

no aroma, bastante baunilha, amanteigado e caramelo. No sabor, leve cítrico, mais baunilha, amargor alto, frutado com peras e maçãs, finalização mediana. Bastante esfumaçado, algo de turfado também. Iodado presente, mas sem incomodar. Valor da garrafa: R$ 800,00.

Neat. Sample. My experience with Japanese whiskey is slim. Nikka Straight from the Barrel is the only one I own (and gone through a few bottles). Excited to explore this sample. What impresses me about this nose is the immediate depth and balance. Lovely sweet oak, honey comb, apple, maple syrup, caramel, hint of chocolate. Really fun to explore. Like stepping into a local, independent candy makers shop and just being overwhelmed with amazing fragrances. Nice, oily mouth feel. Very sweet immediately. Vanilla, honey and apple. The honey is pretty consistent across the experience. Yeah, it really matches the nose mid palate and into the finish. Caramel, butterscotch, honey, apple with this underlying oak wrapped around it like a blanket. Just quite lovely. Hard to imagine a better dram for this Sunday afternoon as I have a quiet moment taking in some sun staring out the window.

A little water and this is one of the smoothest single malts I've had.
