Honey, ginger and granola nose with a sweet honey, sweet granola, light green apple and hints of vanilla taste. Medium light toasted granola and green apple finish. Not aged very long according to the light color but, Suntory does amazing things with their whisky across the board. Love the transparency. I trust two Japanese whisky companies and this is one of them. I compared this to Hibiki thinking Hibiki would totally jump way ahead but, this is actually pretty close.
