Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold (same)

air Nose

remarkably similar, if not identical. Fantastic bread dough notes, with hints of banana, a touch of chalk, drops of almond syrup (orgeat), a bit of eucalyptus, then a hint of porridge with a dash of... calvados within. Remember, Nikka also produces delightful calvados-like apple brandy. I find the 2022 a tad fruitier and slightly less mentholated, yet they’re as similar as the Kessler sisters (nothing to do with the American whiskey brand, I would suppose)

restaurant Palate

same whisky, to be honest. A little sawdust, green tea, banana skin, apple peel, grapefruit, chalk again... Then some earthiness, roots, perhaps gentian, and that faint dirtiness (coal) that I had previously noted and which we enjoy

timer Finish

medium length, apples, mint, green tea, citrus, with a hint of sawdust in the aftertaste
