Official bottling
Single malt - West Honshu
Bright gold
55.5% ABV
Dram
Nose: Cucumbers, kiwifruit, greengages, white grapes, green tea, chestnuts, hints of honey. With water, greengages, nashi pears, chestnuts.
Mouthfeel: Heavy body, oily, hot, tingly.
Tasting: Sweet salty. Malted grains, sandalwood, white grapes, fresh baked bread, black pepper, green tea. With water, black pepper, chestnuts, sandalwood.
Finish: Short. Fresh baked bread, black pepper, white grapes, hints of green tea.
Comments:
Earthy whisky, young of course, but also complex and fragrant. It’s not as fruity as I thought, instead it’s malty and has some savoury notes. Those are some interesting things that Shizuoka are doing with the various stills they have.
Verdict:
I like this a lot.
