From the Kaikyo Distilley comes Hatozaki Pure Malt, made with 100% malt whiskies, distilled largely (if not entirely?) in Scotland, and further aged in Japan. The spirit is amtured in a trio of cask types - bourbon, sherry and Mizunara casks. It's named after the nearby Hatozaki lighthouse, which is the oldest stone lighthouse in Japan.
Aromas of dried fruit, sweet malt, a drizzle of honey, aromatic incense and sandalwood.
Rich and complex with a good helping of malt, aromatic spices, dried fruit and toasted cereal notes, with a slightly creamy vanilla undertone.
Delicately smoky and sweet honey on the finish, with lingering cigar box.
One of my all time favourites. Will always have this stocked in the house.
Was amazed by the clearness. What a delightful hidden gem. Fruity calm sipping whiskey this.
good value for money new tastes mellow and a dry paleness bit of honey and pear drops. 4 star not bad at all.
Great value for money, very mellow but has strong vanilla, oak and pear notes. Dry on the nose but not too much.
Stomach churning. One of the worst whiskies I have ever tasted. Harsh alcohol burn, vomit inducing.
