Simply magnificent! A fruity and floral nose swirls lusciously in a dense mixture of sweet ethanol. The bouquet is so perfect you wonder if consumption by inhalation is at all possible. The liquid has yet to hit the palate and I’m already doodling 5 stars on the paper in front me. Stunningly smooth, the nectar embraces you with the touch of a loved one. It’s intricately composed of woods ranging from the 3 corners of a whisky drinker’s lopsided world, yet clearly articulated as Stephanie has so aptly pointed out. I guess I could say more, but her review and those of others here have already done so satisfactorily. Many thanks to my friend @PBMichiganWolverine for this incredible sample.

@mikael - New edit feature works great!
@mnoad this was a never opened bottle that I bought years ago for just under $200. Well...years ago, as in 2012.
@cascode at $972, it’s plain silly, wait a few years when this entire whiskey market comes crashing down. With all these new entrants, over priced mediocre offerings, and so called “limited releases’, it’s just a matter of time.
@PBMichiganWolverine - I only wish I was introduced to Japanese whisky a few years earlier.
@Rick_M and to think this was merely $200 just a few years ago! Nice review !
Unobtainium in Australia now, but the last listed price I saw was - get ready for it - $972! Screw that.
@Slainte-Mhath - I would pay that price if I could find one. Not sure what would happen after that. :)
Still considering to buy a bottle, but at 550 € I am not sure if it's worth it anymore...
