Light odor of toasted grain. Lightly sweet, with some wood notes. Very faint notes of citrus.

Joe, Dec 22, 2019

A delicious whiskey good nose excellent finish. One of my favorites!

Sweet banana on the nose. Beautiful smooth and sweet on the palette with chocolate, vanilla, and fruit.

Stephen, Dec 2, 2019

Surprising, excellent, super easy to drink with a great finish.

Ott, Nov 25, 2019

Can smell the banana and oak, and taste the vanilla. I wish I could taste the chocolate but it escapes me. Creamy finish but also too spirited (for me).

Mathew, Nov 9, 2019

This is a good one. Smells like vanilla and banana, tastes like sweet vanilla with just a hint of a smoky spicy finish. Sweet and smooth all the way through. Almost too easy to drink.

Anthony, Oct 29, 2019

I love this whiskey! Great flavor and very smooth.

Roger, Oct 17, 2019

Very enjoyable, pronounced milk chocolate and vanilla notes and an oak finish. Would definitely recommend.

Chris, Oct 15, 2019

The smell reminds is very malty with some notes of vanilla. Just on smell alone, I probably wouldn’t give it much thought- but the taste is unreal. A very smooth vanilla with accents of chocolate at first that develops into a malt and oat finish with a medium burn. Perfect sipping whisky and one of the best Japanese offerings I have ever tried.

Ed, Oct 13, 2019

Smooth sipping whiskey, with a hint of chocolate that cuts out any burn... Very good Whiskey, but a bit pricey I would recommend it to anyone who has a little extra pocket change

Warren, Oct 3, 2019

Absolutely over 2 cubes of ice!

Tzvetomir, Sep 9, 2019

Maybe the best whiskey I had so far. Fruity, vanilla, caramel.

Gunner, Aug 2, 2019

Purd good

Stephen, Jul 23, 2019

Exceptional.

Jeff, Jul 23, 2019

Wow, what a great taste! The smell didn't really do much for me, but it did smell clean. But this whisky is smooth and has a great taste. It almost had a toffee taste to me, but maybe that's a combination of the milk chocolate, vanilla, and malt.

Nick, Jul 20, 2019

Definitely get the milk chocolate immediately on the pallet. Great easy sipping whiskey when you’re not in the mood for a bourbon. Would definitely buy in a full bottle

Kevin, Jul 19, 2019

Really good. The milk chocolate up front is delicious.

Marques, Jul 1, 2019

My first foray into Japanese whisky, and boy what a good first step it was. Sweet vanilla mixed with a smooth maltyness. I also recently bought this for a friend of mine who just turned 21 and his dad gave it a big thumbs up.

guest, Jun 29, 2019

Too much malt for my taste, but smooth.

Josh, Jun 20, 2019

Smooth malty flavor with excellent mouth feel. One of my first Japanese Whiskeys and a fine pour.

Michael, Jun 12, 2019

Loved it, have already purchased another bottle, one of my favorites!

Matthew, May 18, 2019

Smooth, sweet vanilla and caramel.

James, May 1, 2019

This is a great sipping Whisky. I am particular to vanilla and that is likely why I enjoy this so much. This is going to be a regular for me. It's a great bottle to share with those new to Whiskey or not particularly suited for the bolder offerings.

Mika, Apr 23, 2019

Smell is not that assuring but overall experience is very good.

Bryan, Apr 10, 2019

Delicious and smooth. I tasted lots of caramel and a hint of peach.

Levi, Feb 21, 2019

I love the vanilla forward taste.

Sam, Feb 18, 2019

One of my favorites!

Marko, Feb 1, 2019

Very unique. Smell is not the best I have tasted, but finish is surprising. A must have definitely...

David, Jan 18, 2019

The nose has a sweet smokey tang to it with oak coming through, Clear vanilla and chocolate flavor, Stays in the mouth with sweet malty sensation and some light spices, Absolutely beautiful,

Nicholas, Jan 14, 2019

Sweet but not cloying, easy-going but not simple. Chocolate-y, vanilla-y, woody tannins to cut the sweetness. Well worth the price.

James, Jan 4, 2019

Smooth but not too sweet. Very flavorful and great own it's own. Definitely in the top 3 of whisky I've tried so far.

Andrew, Dec 29, 2018

Super smooth

Art, Dec 21, 2018

Very Smooth, I loved this on a big ice cube. Glad this is easier to find than others from Japan as this has become one of my favorites.

Richard, Dec 18, 2018

Smooth, a little sweet, good with any type of food, cigar or on its own...neat of course!

Brian, Dec 11, 2018

One of my favorites

Dallas, Nov 27, 2018

Smokey with a hint of coffee flavors. It’s not an everyday drink for me, I have to be in the mood for it. When I am in the mood, love it till the last drop.

Brandee, Nov 10, 2018

Light, smooth.

Harri, Oct 13, 2018

Perfect

Martin, Oct 12, 2018

Tastes like bad medicine

Nick, Sep 28, 2018

Good whiskey. I had it served on the rocks.

Ryan, Sep 23, 2018

Love it

Christos, Sep 22, 2018

One of the best whiskies in my opinion

Jonathan, Sep 19, 2018

Delicious

Sergiy, Sep 3, 2018

Soft, slightly on the sweet side. Very smooth.

Ben, Aug 20, 2018

Excellent

Martin, Aug 16, 2018

Soft opening aroma with hints of malt/oak. A smooth opening with the vanilla malted barley flavor. Very small hint of lemon with a short ending. I let it sit and warmed the glass in my hand. An easy drinking whisky with very little bite.

Tobin, May 16, 2018

Stunning whiskey!

Ryan, Jan 21, 2018

Really great well rounded with some extra kick.

guest, Jan 13, 2018

Yummmm....so easy to drink. Let it breathe or the finish will make you pay. Most Japanese Whisky needs a hint of water to really open up...I use a spherical ice cube, they melt slow and look fun in the glass. Enjoy!
