Yamazakura Fine Blended Whisky Black Label

Honestly, it doesn't deserve a long review. It is so poor, that I don't want to imagine drinking something worse. Metallic on the nose and alcoholic on taste. Short finish, but who would want a long finish of this... Very, very bad work. I would fire the blender.

Not trying to be malicious here, but this whisky has literally no redeeming qualities. It drinks fairly hot at only 40% abv which means it is very young, probably the minimum 2 years of aging to qualify as whisky. The nose presents as a mixture of rubbing alcohol and faint smoke. There is an astringent malty flavour on the palate and very little else, maybe a hint of lemon pith? It shows no evolution or complexity whatsoever as you hold it in your mouth trying in vain to find even a hint of something pleasant. If you enjoy drinking cheap vodka straight, this is your whisky

Typical blend, nothing spectacular. reminded a lot of the black label or dewars white label.
