Nose: vanilla, moderately floral, a gentle salinity and a whisper of earthy peat. Honeyed apple/pear. Palate: mellow and smooth, very easy drinking. Vanilla, honey, a touch of green apple, gentle baking spice, floral. A little bit of smoke and earthy peat appear as it transitions to finish. The "green" notes I've come to expect from Hakushu do peek through here. A touch of black pepper. Finish: sweet, lightly warm.
Nose: green apple/orchard fruit, caramel, vanilla. A whiff of peat and smoke. Butter, a bit of sweet oak. A bit of cinnamon and spice here too. Palate: smooth, well balanced between light fruity and malty flavors and sharper grain whisky notes. Green apple as it transitions to finish Finish: shortish, semi floral.
I like this. A very gentle smokiness with a bit of green apple to it.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
