It's kinda herbal, maybe a little fruit, but herbal. It's a bit sweet and oily, malty, maybe a little sherry character, but... the Yoichi in it makes itself known. It's got that Yoichi funkiness in it. Not a terribly distinct finish. It's pleasant enough, and Nikka is a lot easier to find than any of the three Suntory brands. Give it a try.
