Sakurao Single Malt Japanese Whisky

Nose - Lightly herbal/medicinal, apples, dried longan, sandalwood, cinnamon Taste - Light medicinal/herbal smoke, saline, black pepper, machine oil, cooked apples, light earthy/metallic vibe Finish - Lingering medicinal sweet, salt, earth/dirt Score - 73/100 Final Thoughts - This one is quite interesting in that it feels like it wants to be young Laphroaig, but toned WAY back. On the nose, you can't even tell that it might be peated and even on the palate I'm not 100% sure it's peated or just got some sort of earthy funk. This one isn't bad, but just feels a bit weak and watered down. It has some character with some earthy/mineral funk, but everything just feels muted. Not sure if they're going for super subtle Laphroaig/Ardbeg but this feels like that. Would I drink it if offered? - Maybe Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - No NOTE - All reviews are done without factoring in price.

Японский торфяной виски, максимально похоже на скотишей

Raisin or sherry flavor, really nice sip
