Finished this bottle a couple months ago and into my foray of searching for my next whiskey I was reminded by how I enjoyed this bottle so decided to write my quick review after reminiscing. As a drinker of scotch and bourbon the first thing I noticed was how soft this was when first sipping it. Very inoffensive taste that went well with a small cube. Sweeter profile than any scotch I’ve had in the past. For under $30 and my inexperience in relatively pricier Japanese whiskies out there I certainly would recommend this bottle. 9/8/19
