Tasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
you bet! Everything’s better mastered here, with one main asset: it does not reek of new oak. Lovely mildly medicinal touches, a little smoke, a little sea breeze, some camphor, seaweed, eucalyptus… It’s clearly more ‘Japanese’, I’m even finding echoes of Hakushu. Not a bad sign
restaurant Palate
it’s a very different malt whisky indeed, much more to my liking, salty, brine-y, with some lemons, chalk, marmalade, cough syrup, even a wee drop of mezcal. Really very good, would we not know that this was distilled in Japan, we would have thought it was some very good imported Scottish malt
timer Finish
rather long, on some kind of smoked limoncello, then cough pastilles. A little more oak in the aftertaste, but that’s fine, no sawdust juice at all this time
