So I payed $150 for two bottles of this when a friend got back from japan which is considerably below the gift shop price of around $125 each. That being said I don’t judge taste by price so let’s get into it shall we. Nose: lots of oak like tons, cherry cola(I’ve noticed in older heaven hill products ), slight peanuts and strangely I got some apples. Taste: oak and oak again! Kind of reminds me of some of the older age stated Elijah Craig 12year stuff . But with a hint more proof. Finish is long and slow with that oakey profile again. Overall I’d say nothing incredibly stands out but I’d put it above most of the stuff out. If given the chance while at duty free pick it up. However at the gift shop prices pass on it. 88/100
