Nikka Whisky Distilling Company
Taketsuru Pure Malt 12 Year Whisky
Pretty good whisky but others are better for the price. This is not 'scotch' obviously but Japanese whisky. Certain pleasant initial favors as others have commented on but the finish is somewhat burnt. I guess others might call this peatyness but it's definitely on the bitter side. — 8 years ago

Uigeadail The Ultimate Islay Single Malt Scotch Whiskey 54.2% abv.
Really good whisky and agree with most of the tasting notes here. For me it's too sweet up front. Prefer the spring bank version of peatyness. Pairs well with pure ice or water. — 9 years ago
