Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
Lush aromas of ripe mango and lime juice drift out of the glass, mingling with spiced custard over apple sponge cake, a little time in the glass brings a chiselled maltiness into play along with a touch of dedicated cocoanut.
Palate
The palate is noticeably thick showing wonderful mouthfeel, the character is initially of dried malt, but soon develops into fresh citrus fruits, apricot yoghurt and banana bread with a suggestion of wood smoke on the rear palate.
Finish
The finish brings spiced Crème Brûlée, dried apple and a mouthwatering note of ripening pineapple. A masterclass in Japanese whisky from one of the world’s most in demand distilleries.
