What is unfortunate about scotch is that it really isn't worth drinking until you hit the $40 price range. While I wouldn't say that this sake is on the same level as a fine bottle of Scotch, its depth of flavor and sweetness really make it stand out. The rich nutty, organic notes are pleasing and the floral sweetness really pops before giving way to a long, finish with no odd notes (somewhat of a rarity among sake). At three times the cost, I would still recommend this sake.
