A tonne of smokiness on the nose and botanicals. I got a sense of peatiness or earthiness, too. Taste-wise it's oaky, almost like smoked wood on a fire. Overall, a nice drink if you're into quite strong roasted/smokey taste and smells.

The finish is a lot better than the start. Starts off dull and unfortunately overpowers the sweet ending.

The intense alcohol smell and taste makes it a little difficult to snip. However, mixing with a little of water breaks it and make it smoother to drink.

I really have a hard time putting my finger on this one. Straight from the bottle it is a bit strong for me and kinda tastes like rubber. Just a sprinkle of water really wakes it up. If you do an ice cube, it'll turn back to rubber when the ice melts. Its complicated and even though it's not my favorite, I keep going back to figure out the complexities.

Oaky whisky with clear subtones of cherries in the background. Easy on the nose and to drink. Very elegant whisky. It might pair with cake

Spencer, Sep 12, 2020

Cake?

Spencer, Sep 12, 2020

Cake?

Spencer, Sep 12, 2020

Smooth and good character.

Lars, Sep 12, 2020

Are you gonna finish your cake?

Luis, Sep 4, 2020

Smooth herbal and sweet. Well balanced and enjoyable.

Erik, Aug 17, 2020

Super smooth and gentle

Dwight, Aug 3, 2020

Smooth but a bit more peaty than I was expecting.

Jason, Jul 29, 2020

A very pleasant nose is followed by a smooth, sweet, cherry/sherry taste with a bit of a peaty flair at the end.

Amelia, Jul 27, 2020

Herbal up front with almost a peat/smoke taste.

Rich, Jul 12, 2020

Between the three provided in the taster, this was in the middle. Lots of aftertaste

Tim, Jul 8, 2020

Very smooth, a great intro to Japanese Whiskey for me.

Craig, Jun 6, 2020

Very nice

Lawrence, Apr 28, 2020

Sweet honey nose. Medium finish. Slight spice on the back roof of the mouth and tip of the tongue.

Stephen, Apr 16, 2020

Great finish, very smooth.

Nicholas, Apr 7, 2020

Very smooth, smoky and delightful

Justin, Mar 14, 2020

Very nice blend of herbs and sweetness.

James, Mar 8, 2020

The smoky roasted flavour is nice. I would say that there is a slight edge, or a bite, but it is flavoursome very drinkable!

David, Feb 23, 2020

Quite smoky and roasted

Tomislav, Feb 17, 2020

A bit too smoky for my taste

Peter, Feb 5, 2020

A little too smoky for my taste

Juliana, Jan 20, 2020

Sativa, Marille (apricot Wachau), dried fruits and oak Perfect fit for cigar!

Andrew, Jan 11, 2020

Roasting was smooth. Oily consistency. Nice.

Nakeva, Dec 31, 2019

Nice front flavor of the oak and honey followed by the back flavor of sweetness that kicks in at the right time.

guest, Dec 15, 2019

Rich. Crisp. Sweet. Heavy. Fullbodied.

Leif, Nov 29, 2019

Smooth and flavorful. Caramel on the nose. Apricot and leather tastes.

Chris, Nov 5, 2019

Smooth but overly smoky for my taste. Not peaty but smoky.

Mike, Oct 24, 2019

Only my fifth or sixth Japanese whisky but I’m now fully convinced that neither Kentucky nor Scotland have anything to worry about. This one tastes like that crap the dentist numbs you with before the needle comes.

Dan, Oct 12, 2019

Really nice smoky flavor. I just wish it had a smother finish. I little bite at the end. Altogether good flavor.

Mark, Sep 23, 2019

Darker, Smokey, a bit acidic

Michael, Aug 25, 2019

No bad at all, but from all the reviews I was expecting more, I’m a big scotch drinker and this at best was. I’d range scotch

Michael, Jun 10, 2019

I did not like this one at all. Very little flavor other than the very strong flavor of alcohol. The finish was very grainy and went down rough. I would not recommend this one if you prefer a smoother finish and more flavor.

Kevin, May 25, 2019

Very smooth, yet more of a peety taste rivaling the best of scotches

Daniel, May 10, 2019

Sweet, smoke, molasses, apple, leather. This one is a little too sweet for my taste, so not my favorite. Still good though....I liked it better with ice

alexey, Mar 27, 2019

Herbs and brown sugar on the nose, but very salty on the pallet. Decent honey aftertaste. Very nice and smooth. Awesome and very interesting whiskey

Lee, Mar 15, 2019

Pretty good... has a real scotch flavor .. Scotch isn’t my main choice ... but compared to scotches I’ve had it’s decent

Kiel, Mar 10, 2019

I enjoyed the spicy after taste. Could really taste the oak.

Susanna, Mar 9, 2019

This was not as good as I had thought, I was a bit disappointed. Yet it was worth tasting once.

Luis, Feb 17, 2019

A splendid drink - exceptionally smooth and easy on the pallet, this whiskey has long legs and is defined by a smokey, spicy nature.

Sandra, Jan 23, 2019

Roasted and oaky with a oily finish. Not as sweet as I thought it would be.

Maximo, Jan 20, 2019

Nice finish

Johan, Jan 6, 2019

Wood and coal and oil. Warm.

Antti, Oct 31, 2018

It is a very good,intense, blended Japanese Whisky with a complex birth; while a rich & oily life; leads to a long & crisp death with a hint of smoke.
