Summary: Good standing 4.1
March 17th, 2010

I normally have a sweet tooth, so this whisky works for the whisky drinker who wants a sweeter palate.

Nose
Medium length. Hints of fruit, and slight touch of almonds
Taste

fruit taste with touch of sweetness. Almost syrup...but with out tasting like a candy.  Has slight spice to the back end of the palate.

Finish
fruity.  clean

Summary: Humble and Malty
September 12th, 2008
Very nice whiskey. The Japanese are starting to make really good whiskey. The 18 is even better but overpriced. This is still a good whiskey.
Nose
Malty and light wood. Not much burn either.
Taste
Thick and slightly sweet at first, then turns a little tangy. Just a hint of wood and smoke. Very clean but still light burn.
Finish
Somewhat of a bitter aftertaste. After the seet it turns a little tangy. Makes you want to drink more to avoid the lingering bitterness.
