Medium Dark amber unctiousness. So pleasant; apricot with peach weight decadence meets drizzled caramel and baked apple that brings pine forest fire sharply, hot and precise, before grilled yellow peppers and lava salt unfold to daffodil delicate and ethereal. Nose of golden tears. You drink in acanthus long before your sip; gum Arabic, hot orange honey and graphite. Mocha tobacco, bourbon barrel aged grappa, smoke of charred pit pig fat, roasted Tabasco pepper, and cinnamon oil and green olive grapple over cracked black pepper, anise seed, lavender oil, oregano oil and charred orange peel. Disturbs the mind in its swing from darkness to light, from life to death and finally rebirth. Volcanic and chaotic, but ripe for life and ultimately reverberating in possibility. #nikka #nikkawhisky #nikkapuremalt #taketsuruwhisky #thenikkawhiskydistillingco #whisky #japan #japanesewhisky #nippon #nipponwhisky #masetakataketsuru #yoichi #miyagikyo #whiskey — 4 years ago

Wasn’t expecting this to hold up to the amazingly rich tonkatsu at Butagumi. But, really hit the mark, especially with a bite of cabbage — a year ago

Pale green/yellow. Apple and lime. Searing acidity. Wet stone minerality. This is my jam. Nice with Nippon Tei salmon bowl. — 3 years ago

Juicy, persistent overachiever. Ribs were a great match. Wish I could get more in Nippon. — 4 years ago

Rotie-esque. Nice aromatics from viognier. Stewed plum, peppercorn. Wine was good, unfortunately Nippon Tei was greasy and underwhelming. — a year ago

Wow. Yellow apple, mineral, waxy body. Perfect with Nippon Tei and peace and quiet of kids at grandparents. — 2 years ago

Not your moms Chardonnay! Lime zest, cheese rind notes. Apple, lime, grapefruit. Stinging acidity. Reductive flintiness. Hard to believe 50% new oak. Could sit and ponder this all day. With Nippon Tei nigiri first night and rosemary lemon roast chicken the next. — 3 years ago
