Back in the late 1960s, Suntory, who is truly a giant of the whisky industry nowadays, introduced a popular blended malt called Suntory Special Reserve. It is basically the blend of two legendary Japanese whiskies, Yamazaki and Hakushu, and it comes in a pitch black bottle, at 43%abv. Well; i tried it and the liquid inside was fabulous. On the nose, this is quite good. It starts with the most amazing white chocolate note ever. Very buttery on the nose. Sherry, peaches and almonds. Dehydrated oranges. After a first sip, the aroma changed into a Milka Caramel chocolate. Hot honey, prunes and caramel. Incredible. On the palate, again this impressive white chocolate note, almonds and orange peel. The second sip gave me impalpable sugar, caramel and aniseed. Aftertaste had every flavor you can imagine: it was sweet, bitter, spicy and salty. Salt, red berries, tobacco, liquorice and ginger. Neat stuff. Overall, this was a super enjoyable whisky. It is not the best whisky in the world but i had a very good time with it. I shared with some people and they were all impressed by it. My score for this complex dram is 91 over 100.
