I have no idea what people are bitching about here. This is fantastic. My first Japanese whisky. Finally found a bottle locally and was weary because of the mixed reviews. Very happy I purchased. Amazing nose and the palate is spicy, rounded, fruity, floral. I love peat bombs so this is a nice change of pace. Like some have said about this, embrace the sublelty.

I have sipped it over a year - initially I wasn't impressed, preferring the bolder and cheaper Nikka From The Barrel. However I'm now very impressed with it. It's a delicious blend of spice, strawberry, tea, vanilla. Like a Japanese minimalist garden you need to appreciate its subtlety - no point comparing it to a storm-swept scottish glen! :)
Thank you!! Agreed. Extremely well balanced and when sipped neat from a Glencairn this is nothing short of Heaven.
