Comments: 

Almost colourless, this whisky. Together with the cooked rice notes, this reminded me of nothing so much as a very good, very flavourful sake. It even has the slightly sour fermented flavour. With water though, the whisky came rushing back - tart, appley, herbal.

Verdict:

I like this.
