With Creamsicle, coconut, orange, kumquat, and fluttering spices, it is further enhanced by dried strawberry, raspberry, and a spicy aftertaste. Delightfully unhurried development of flavors.
I think this one is a great introduction to Japanese whiskies, especially for the price point. It’s pretty straightforward from nose to palate with simple flavors.
While the nose feels way off, the whisky largely redeems itself where it counts the most. That said, its extremely light body and thin palate make it best suited for highballs rather than straight sipping.
