WhiskeyLive Dublin 2018
This was the worst whiskey of the night at WhiskeyLive. I am sure at that stage my taste buds were overworked but there was no mistaking the poor taste of this one - I couldn't get past a sour metallic smell and taste. I followed it up with Mars Komagatake Nature of Shinshu Shinamotanpopo which was very decent (3.5) and so much better than this.

@1901 Definitely slower pace than 2018..no whiskey festivals or much hanging out at my fav whiskey bar in 2019. Just a steady MoM supplied tasting pace :-)
@Soba45 I hadn't heard of Omar - I'll watch out for it, and for your review. You're not resting on your laurels - looks like 2019 will be another busy year for you :-D
@1901 The days of great Japanese whiskies at affordable prices are long gone in my opinion. Taiwan and India has been my go to although the former is also getting slightly insane now i.e. top end Kavalan. There is a new Taiwanese distillery Omar which is reasonable and well rated so I added a sample to my last MoM order. Another 45 samples winging their way too NZ shortly :-)
@Soba45 Yeah, disappointing. These two Mars were the only Asian whiskeys at the event, so I was looking forward to trying them out.
Yeah the whole Mars range was average. To much average overpriced Japanese whiskey around
