Yamazaki 18 Year

Really smooth but not worth the price (in yen at least)

More floral than the hakushu, definitely a highland style whisky. Pleasant but a bit to light in style for me.

Nose: Sophisticated sherry with notes of smoke and a good mix of dates, anise and mint. Taste: Honey and malt in a sweet way, with oak in the back. Full and layered body of raisins, oranges and delicate sherry. Finish: Textures of very dark flavors. Dried fruits with dark chocolate, espresso and a little bit of smoke. Balance: Rich and sophisticated dram!
