Distinct oaky flavor dances on the tongue after sipping. It has a sharp bite that dissipates quickly leavinf a light aftertaste. Seasonal in my area so I would pick it up when available as this is a delicious example of a Japanese whisky offering that showcases what just the ingredients and wood can produce.

My first Japanese whisky. More malty than my former ignorant self expected. Had it with sushi; next time I'll have one after the sushi.
