First Japanese whisky! I actually get milk chocolate on the nose, along with sugary caramel. You can tell it’s a crazy sweet dram. It reminds me of an El Dorado 25 rum of all things. Mmmm... a much different palate.. this has juicy nectarines, banana, some spice, lavender...and very, very distant mushroom fungal note. A medium finish of sweet fruit and bourbon. I would recommend this to anyone.

With Japanese whiskey prices nowadays, it's hard to justify getting any. But, if you do get one...have it be Yamazaki 18. I think that one was the one that put Japan on the upper whiskey echelon
