Fukano Distillery
Single Cask Whisky
Another modern Japanese whiskey. I’m starting to see how one gets seduced & to never turn back. If whiskey has a mid palate, this has it in spades. I don’t know how to write about whiskey but, hotdamn, I’m in love....

Feb 25th, 2016Light yellow gold color. Leggy. Oily. Creamy mouth feel. The nose is light, mellow wheat, buttered popcorn, salty taffy, hard caramel candy, and honey crisp apple(?), peach. Upfront the caramel covered candy apple, wheat and butter hit followed by saltiness and toasted wood that leaves the mouth a bit dry (wood tannin?). Chewy. The salty taffy lingers on the finish along with the dryness. Quality daily sipper. No water added. Cask 287
