Cannot overstate how smooth & seductive this, even just on the nose. Really gorgeous & a lighter touch. Just absolute joy.

Honey, malt, cherry, almond, red fruits, subtle spice. Peat is very reserved. Round mouthfeel. Additional flavors of beeswax and toffee. Medium finish.

Nose is apple, fresh and light. In the mouth very light and jovial as well. Fruity and then lightly bitter on the finale. Very feminin and elegant.

My first Japanese whiskey bottle courtesy of the Maki clan. Outrageously good stuff. Can't wait for my next Japanese bottle! Really elegant, balanced, complex stuff
