Yamazaki Sherry Cask (2016 Edition)

absolutely wonderful, but single malts "robustness" has not age quite as smooth as would have liked for best-in-world titled. very impressive.

どっとしたフルーツっぽい香り 少しの苦味

Had a dram of this last night at a local pub. All of the tasting notes out there are pretty indicative of this Yamazaki. Deep and dark sherry with the accompanying chocolate and cherry Coke. I detected no smoke, personally. I also found a very slightly metallic element to the finish--not at all disconcerting, though. At ~$300 I would probably buy this--and that is based purely on quality (not as an investment). For $2000+...I'd wait for something with a little more character and a lot more soul.

So not worth $2000 a bottle then?
