| Review #197 |
This is
expensive, so the expectations are a bit high. Amongst other, it has malt
whisky from Yamazaki and Hakushu and grain whisky from Chita. The smell is
fresh, yet full-bodied. Light, but still a bit heavy. Some vanilla and honey,
and yet some plums in the background. I like this little play.
There is
some different things going on in the taste, but the first thing I notice is some spices.
The dominating flavor is from the sherry wood though. The finish doesn’t stay
too long, but some nutty-woody and orange notes makes an appearance.
A bit too
pricey for what it is delivering. With a higher ABV it would definitely have
been much more interesting. The balance is fine, yet a bit off, but I just find
this blend to simple in regards of what I was expecting. Don’t get me wrong, it
is a lovely dram! I will give this 85/100 (22/21/21/21).
