A classic blended whisky from Suntory - the core ingredients in countless cocktails over the many, many years its been produced by the legendary Japanese producers.
Big scoops of fresh cereals and honeycomb ice cream. Light spiciness to it.
More honey, now with the addition of citrus peels, peppercorn and cinnamon.
More honey'd barley.
Comes into its own as a Highball with soda water
Bought this piece of rubbish thinking "oh, a nicely priced Japanese", but what a huge disappointment. Tastes like salt water with a tiny touch of bourbon. Absolutely awful.
Very little nose, watered down palette and finish is short. Good as high ball and drink mixes as it's not over powering. At this price, just get the Yamazaki distiller reserve for better value.
Works in cocktails as it doesnt overpower, relatively cheap but really dull. subtle honey, too strong a bite... not for me
