Hakata 18 Year Sherry Cask
Single Malt — Japan
Reviewed
February 28, 2024 (edited March 1, 2024)
Nose - Intense raisin/prunes, dark soy, dark berries
Taste - Dark raisins/prunes, blackberries, blueberries, dark soy, dark chocolate, dark cherries
Finish - Wet oak, dark berries, raisins, dark cherry juice, dark soy
Score - 86/100
Final Thoughts - Nose on this one felt a bit more balanced, but still a bit one dimensional. Nice addition of blackberries and blueberries on the palate, but still felt like I was drinking a fortified sherry that had a tiny bit of dark soy added to it. It wasn't off putting by any means, but just felt a bit one and done.
Would I drink it if offered? - Yes
Would I specifically order it? - Maybe
Would I buy a bottle? - No
