Oh man. What a depth of flavor.

A study in pear. Dry and light.

Floral cherry blossoms as well.

Hibiki 21 Years Old Blended Whisky

A little bit of madness as I wanted to drink this very rare bottle. Definitely worth getting « lost in translation » and very very good while more structured / less smooth than the traditional hibiki. Is it worth it or just speculation? I’ll let you decide for yourself — 2 months ago

3 Years Snow Aged Junmai Ginjo Sake

I’m not sure I can tell what is the difference between the 3yr and older versions but I’m pretty confident that side by side you will like the longer age. It’s subtle but evident and I didn’t think that right off the bat. — 3 months ago
