Official bottling
Single grain - Kyushu
Amber
44.1% ABV
Dram
Nose: Damson jam, magic marker, cookie dough, vanilla, raisins, brown paper.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, astringent, warm, tingly.
Tasting: Sweet. Red grapes, raisins, magic marker, vanilla, cooked rice, pear drops, magic marker.
Finish: Short. Cooked rice, malted grains, coffee, sea salt, cornstarch.
Comments:
This is a rice whisky, meaning its spirit distilled from rice and wood aged, in a brandy cask it seems. Rice is a grain, and so this is a grain whisky. It’s got some rice and starch notes, but the distillate has essentially been taken over by the cask. It’s pleasant, but tastes like brandy.
Verdict:
I like this.
