Had this during a business dinner some time back. Generally, I've disliked NAS Japanese whiskies, just seems to be a shell of it's aged versions. I"ve not tasted the aged version of MIyagikyo, so fortunately, haven't been jaded (yet). Nose: floral and summer-y. Taste: roasted nuts, mild. Non-challenging, but so very not complex. Like a Balvenie...can't do no wrong, but nothing that makes you go 'wow'. Finish: quick, mild. Not a bad NAS version, better than the NAS Yoichi for sure. Not sure what the price is, but I'd not pay over $50 for it. You can get better complexity elsewhere for that price (Great King St is the first that comes to mind)
