This is Japanese Whisky at it's finest. All the qualities of fine distillation and blending processes brought together in a fantastic expression of what the Japanese excel at, the details. Everything from the nose, to the pallet, to the finish are high quality. If you like American Bourbon, this is the Japanese Whisky you should search out and try. It's absolutely wonderful neat, but opens up even more over a stone or ice, and ultimately will make one of the best old fashioned cocktails around, especially with Orange Bitters. The citrus notes that are present come through strong, and every detail of the slightly longer than average finish, bring together an old fashioned perfectly. The coffey still production is used to perfection here. One of my favorite bottles, and it regularly is in my bar.
