This blend from Nikka is like drinking silk it is so elegant and smooth, bottled at 43%. There is a ceramic decanter version but this one is stunning as is. Johnny Walker eat your hear out!
Distillery's Tasting Note: "Nose: full and firm. Heady flowers (mimosa and clover) dominate at first. Cooked fruit (apple) notes are equally present. Milk cream and an acrid smokiness follow. Brings to mind a Havana cigar, both spicy and earthy. Palate: lively and tonic. Smoke overlays citrus fruit (grapefruit and lime). Saltiness, acidity, bitterness and sweetness are all equally present: no one single quality dominates. Finish: long, and with a sense of balance which continues on and on as the creaminess increases. Lovely notes of chocolate are particularly strong, as is a fine peaty bitterness.

The base of the whisky, Japanese single malts and grain, have been matured in American oak casks. The dressing is the more rare and complex Sherry and Mizunara (Japanese oak) notes. The single malts have been sourced from Hakushu and Yamazaki and the grain whiskies from Chita. This is the first Suntory whisky made available in Canada in more than 2 years.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: clean, floral and grainy with a touch of juicy malt; delicate fruits, melon and kiwi with lots of vanilla and subtle spices.
Palate: juicy, fruity and floral with toasty American oak and rich spices (Mizunara?); lots of fruits here, more melon and kiwi, silky grains and chewy malt mingle with orange peel and vanilla bean.
Finish: long, toasty and silky with fading fruits, spices and sugars.
Comment: Japanese blends never seem to disappoint, and this one is no exception. It is very elegant and complex. Hopefully we get more than promissed...
Distiller's Tasting Note
Nose: rose, lychee, hint of rosemary, mature woodiness, sandalwood.
Palate: honeylike sweetness, candied orange peel, white chocolate.
Finish: subtle, tender long finish, with hint of Mizunara (Japanese oak).
