Holy mackeral! I have become a big fan of Nikka products. Huge thanks to Pranay for the sample on this since it' s not available in the U.S. Right from the nose, you can tell it's going to be a well balanced glass. You get the woody elements, with light and dark fruits, briny saltiness, and even floral properties. The palate brings smooth vanilla, high quality fruit punch, and Werther's original candies. The finish is long with heavy oak and spicy cinnamon. Since this dram is making me long for more from Japan, the song for this one is "Turning Japanese" by The Vapors. 4.25!

Oh no, no, no Lee...it's like buying stock at its high. Way too expensive and over priced now.
I’ve been on a Japanese whisky buying binge the last few weeks. I think I’m gonna put this sample away for a big Japanese tasting sometime down the road. Great review. Good to hear it’s a solid malt. Inviting Pranay into this trading group pays off every round, lol.
