Other Whiskey — Japan
Reviewed
September 18, 2020 (edited October 14, 2020)
Nose - Pleasant floral pear cider, hints of cherry blossoms, light cedar wood/sharpness, light coconut, toasted white sesame seeds mixed with white sugar
Taste - Fairly thin, nice gentle floral/fruity heat, hints of coconut, macadamia nuts, buttery toffee, hints of cinnamon, light clove bitterness
Finish - Lingering gentle heat, waxy/buttery clean sweetness, light flora/fruity cherry blossom scented simple syrup
Score - 86/100
Final Thoughts - This was fairly enjoyable from start to finish. It definitely noses like a blended whisky with the grain proportion being on the higher end or even being just a blended grain whisky. Regardless, it's a fairly easy sippable whisky. Nice floral backbone and buttery toffee backbone. It's tasty, but nothing spectacular. I'd say this is best enjoyed neat or in a highball.

This sounds really interesting, but even as a fan of sake and whiskey, it strikes me as a classic Japanese whiskey gimmick to move bottles based of the details (the age range is suspicious) and your tasting. Thank you for trying this out!
@PBMichiganWolverine - I believe it's a mix of malted & unmalted rice, so it's a grain (rice) whisky, but at least it's actually distilled & aged in Japan I believe.
Is this from rice?
