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.
Not good. Pale colour strong alcohol taste no discernable notes or finish. Not a patch on other japanese blends such as hibiki
Beautiful on the tongue
Disappointing whisky, limited nose and a dry harsh flavour. The least impressive Japanese whisky I have tried. The closest flavour I can compare this to was an Irish flatmates homemade poitin.
It is highly alcoholic, balanced and discreetly smoked. It's a bit nutty. Does not stand out
The lack of color hides a complex nose. The tastes however is fair but dissapoints the plums we smell and gives way to a more harsh grain finish. But not bad.
$32.38 - $67.18
