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.
I'm tempted to give it 5 stars for it's ridiculous value. You can get the 700ml for less than 13 USD in supermarkets here in Taiwan, you'd probably be able to get it for even cheaper in Japan. Completely inoffensive, balanced "cheap" whiskey that actually tastes pleasant. Unfortunately, the pricing of the yellow label out of Asia is just not worth it. I'd say 25-30 Would be the highest I'd be willing to pay for it.
This is the ubiquitous "whino whiskey" in Japan. It's available in every convenience store. When you are in areas with a lot of homeless people, you can smell the whiskey where they choose to urinate. That being said, it is an amazing value in Japan. It is a great whiskey in a highball or even straight. Keep in mind that in Japan it costs less than $30 USD for the 700 ml bottle. And it's worth every penny.
Update If you strongly aerate this whisky it opens up a lot. Still not a classic but it becomes much softer and sweeter and less harsh. I use a Villeroy&Boch whisky glass and spend 40s or so whisking with chopsticks. It makes a big difference.
This actually isn't very good. It's too harsh, with practically no body. It has a nice mouthfeel but no aftertaste apart from very young grain whisky. If you don't drink whisky straight, it'll probably be OK. The alcohol burn might actually increase the flavour of a whisky and coke for example. But for drinking as whisky should be drunk, it will satisfy only the least discerning palate.
reminiscent of Jack Daniels, great as a spirit base for cocktails but weak on its own. Not to mention the price hike, not worth more than a tenner a bottle.
