Wonderfully light and elegant--floral notes and tree fruits on the nose, backed with tart green apple, vanilla and root beer candy flavors. A quick bit of heat before a clean finish. Great in cocktails or neat--add an ice cube and watch the caramel come out of the American Oak and the nutty honey notes come out of the Sheery casks! A delightful whiskey that is not trying to emulate Single Malt Scotch Whisky but rather representing something truly unique to Japan! A+
