Not matching up to the others tonight. The Hibiki’s are crushing. That said. Now trying in a highball and it is dominating over the Nikka in the Barrel — 2 years ago

Black Label Taketsuru Pure Malt Whisky
I bought this for the winter months and finished the last of it over the weekend. This is a blended malt named in honour of Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese Whisky. He was the first Japanese who mastered Whisky making in Scotland and brought this expertise back to Japan. It was an incredibly pure and rich Whisky with a certain smokiness. I don’t drink enough Whisky to know the difference but this could easily have been Scotch to my palate. 43% ABV. — 2 years ago

Miyagikyo Single Malt Aromatic Yeast Whisky
WhiskeyFest SF 2022 - (reused glass so not doing tasting notes) really nice. Will never find in the wild but delicious. I would lean less peatier if had to make a choice. Yoichi is the peatier one. Nikka - Single Malt Yoichi Aromatic

Single Malt Yoichi Aromatic Yeast
WhiskeyFest SF 2022 - (reused glass so not doing tasting notes) one of two aromatic yeast options. One was peatier than the other. Both were light and delicious. I would lean less peatier if had to make a choice. Yoichi is the peatier one if I recall correctly. Nikka - Single Malt Yoichi Aromatic

People are harsh on the ratings here. This is a light whiskey with an apple finish. It’s exactly what you would expect from a Japanese whiskey. Not heavy power. Light. Easy to drink. The apple finish is absolutely there and is delightful. This is any drink for those who want something that doesn’t knock you over and has a fruity taste. I’m a fan with the right context. — a month ago
