Nose - Pleasant floral pear cider, hints of cherry blossoms, light cedar wood/sharpness, light coconut, toasted white sesame seeds mixed with white sugar Taste - Fairly thin, nice gentle floral/fruity heat, hints of coconut, macadamia nuts, buttery toffee, hints of cinnamon, light clove bitterness Finish - Lingering gentle heat, waxy/buttery clean sweetness, light flora/fruity cherry blossom scented simple syrup Score - 86/100 Final Thoughts - This was fairly enjoyable from start to finish. It definitely noses like a blended whisky with the grain proportion being on the higher end or even being just a blended grain whisky. Regardless, it's a fairly easy sippable whisky. Nice floral backbone and buttery toffee backbone. It's tasty, but nothing spectacular. I'd say this is best enjoyed neat or in a highball. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - Not at the price I paid
About this bottle
Fukano 6000 was announced in November 2018 alongside three other limited edition expressions: Fukano Vault Reserve 1, Vault Reserve 2 and Fukano Jikan. All four limited edition expressions are a combination of whiskies between the ages of 3 and 11 years old. Some of the whisky was first matured in casks and then moved over to be kept in different tanks for up to 16 years to rest. After tasting each tank individually, the brand created four different combinations from the tanks. The label art was created by LA-based artist WhiskyAnorach. 1,200 bottles were produced globally and it is bottled at 40.4% ABV.
