A fabulous Japanese blended whisky from Nikka, Tailored brings together a core of malted barley from the Miyagikyo and Yoichi distilleries, along with Coffey still grain whisky! A brilliant balance of sweet fruit and more bitter notes, the distillery suggests enjoying it alongside some dark chocolate, which we reckon sounds rather good.
Fresh stone fruit, with nectarine and dried apricot supported by waxy peels, touches of pithy citrus and a dusting of cocoa.
Initially sweet and buttery, with baked custard tarts balanced by orange marmalade and bitter dark chocolate.
Roasted coffee bean, fresh apple and vanilla pod linger.
As a lover of Hibiki Master Select which is ridiculously hard to get hold of, I tried this on a whim and was not disappointed. The above tasting notes are pretty much spot on. This is so smooth and creamy and irresistibly drinkable. Well worth the money.
