Nathan

First Japanese whiskey. Too much citrus for me. Hard to pick up the other flavors.
 
Zeb
Zeb,
Nothing special here
 
Lars
Lars,
Very subtle fairly smoky whisky with low character. It is a very easy to drink whisky however the caramel tones are hard to notice leaving some evidence of fruits. It is a ok whisky but not for the price tag

Very easy to drink, but not sure it’s worth the price.

Audrey
Audrey,
Received in a blended whisky tasting box. Other two were excellent. This was undrinkable. Neither of us finished and we don't have the same palate. Tasted like fake peat. Awful.
 
Steven
Steven,
citrus zest -- a blend of orange and lemon. also notes of plums with hint of cinnamon and smokey peat finish. almost watery though -- not the "bold" whiskey Im used to but overall enjoyable
 
Steve

Not bad smooth.. good orange and smoke taste then caramel flavor on the finish,

Smooth and smoky. Nice notes, but not complex. A bit sweet, and a nice sipper. Can’t imagine what you’d mix this with.

It’s a sturdy whiskey nothing that’s going to knock your socks off. But their are some nice flavors to pick up but it is rather smooth going down. All in all not a bad dram.

Skip
Skip,
Not impressed. Didn't pick up any of the smoky, other flavors in the flavor spiral hard to pick up. Tried before i looked and after, same thing. Glad this was in the quarterly sample, would've been a let down. Didn't taste bad and was very smooth though.

Michael
Michael,
Light. Similar to Suntory. Slightly smoky. Carmel hints. Slight tingle on the back of the tongue.
 
Jonathan
Jonathan,
The liquor was smooth in the class. The aroma is strong alcohol and smelt like I didn't want to try it. However, the flavor was a smooth caramel that left no aftertaste what soever. Overpriced, but would never turn down a glass!
 
Justine
Justine,
The Togouchi is a must try
 
Jim
Jim,
I love the complexity of this one. It has a very smooth finish with a hint of spicy.
 
Jose
Jose,
Not bad, but to much caramel
 
Mark
Mark,
Somewhat of a smooth aftertaste
 
James
James,
Prominent caramel & smoky flavor - notes of plum & citrus. Pretty smooth and I’d gladly have a glass from someone else’s collection - but not the bottle I’ll add to my own.
 
Tyson
Tyson,
It is very tasty, but I suppose my palette is not refined enough. Seems dry, not many sweet notes.
 
Martin
Martin,
Fresh citrus zest with a hint of cinnamon on the the nose. Appearance is a hint of color. Smooth caramel taste with hints of orange and plum. No after bite. Has a nice lingering flavor on the palate. Let it sit a bit to open it up. A great blend to add to the collection. This is a wonderful tasting whisky which could be enjoyed daily.
 
Andrew
Andrew,
Subtle fruit throughout. The caramel flavor is strong, which I like. Surprisingly clear, and with a spiciness that excites.
