For me this is the best value Japanese Whisky you can buy. Yes its not 'true Japanese' but I enjoy this one more than Ben Nevis which is the Scotch Whisky they 'taint' the Japanese spirit with.

Is it as good as say a Yamazaki 12yo or Hibiki? No but it costs just under half the price of Hibiki Harmony and Harmony is nowhere near being twice as good.

If you haven't tried this one it is definitely worth it.

Cheap enough to justify as a daily drinker but good enough to offer to guests.

i was excited to purchase this but now having received itI find it underwhelming.

I expected , like most of the Japanese whiskies that it would be a lot smoother than it is.

A bit of a burn to the throat instead of a chance to savour the coating of the mouth.

I think it would suit a different drinker to me ( late Sixties) as i constantly look for tastes to appeal to my palate

Smooth as you'd expect for such a high grade Japanese Whisky. Given that this stuff can sometimes go into the hundreds (of dollars) this is a real steal and well-recommended for lovers of softer (e.g. highland or speyside) whiskies!

Good little staple whisky.

I can use it with cocktails, coffee and even an after dinner drop.

So good I ran out and replaced my staple.

It's not thought provoking or complex, its just a yummy good little whisky.

I've had people tell me this isn't a "genuine" Japanese whisky, because it's blended with some scotch whisky. Nobody seems to know the percentage of "tainting" that is done.

That being said, this is a robust entry into what resellers consider Japanese whisky. It has a floral nose, with a touch of sweetness. That carries over to the palate, where there is a delicious blend of floral and honeyed sweetness, that provides a lasting sweet finish.
