Ok this is my first ever Japanese whisky and wow what an experience. On the nose this is very much like an Irish whisky in having notes of honey, citrus, apple, peach, nectarine, and this one has a huge lemon note that is ridiculously pleasant. On the palate, the spices show up with the presence of short bread cookie, honey, green apple, and a hint of smoke. Very pleasant, and a dangerous sip. This one coats the mouth leaving you salivating for another sip. Overall: Nose 3.75/5: Palate: 3.75/5 Repurchase: Yes Type: Daily Drinker
