Nose: cereal grains, caramel, ginger, clove, cherries Palate: toffee, sugar roasted almonds, all spice, orange, milk coffee Finish: dry oak, white pepper, lemon, burnt caramel Value: C, As with most Japanese whiskies in the US, this is far overpriced. Picked this bottle up in Switzerland and it is quite delicious with a little complexity but the price tag seems far too steep for a lovely but not life changing dram.
