Comments: 

Shizuoka, distilled in the old Karuizawa still. It’s excellent, sweet and fruity, with the richness of Armagnac aged prunes, as well as an unusual herbal leathery flavour reminiscent of fresh bay leaves. Very promising whisky, and although expensive I can see why people pay up for it.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
