Single Malt — Japan
Reviewed
June 25, 2016 (edited January 1, 2019)
Nose - Light peaty smoke, sweet salty brine, apples, honeydew melon.
Taste - Immediately a sweet briny smoke, light bitterness like that of an oversteeped black tea. Toasted wet seaweed, toasted oats and toasted malted barley.
Finish - Salty smoky seaweed, light bitterness like burnt wet seaweed, salted green tea caramel-like sweetness. Long lingering briny smoke. Light honeydew melon sweetness makes a background appearance.
80/100

Apparently Nikka is discontinuing the age statements and their NAS is getting younger and younger. If you still have this bottle, savor it slowly---won't see anymore on shelves till years
