Tottori ex-Bourbon Barrel Blended Japanese Whisky

Nose - faintest bit of maple and honey Taste - oakeyness with a bit of burnt oak Finish - follows through with oak Score - 3.0 Scoring Legend 5.0 - Outstanding, unmatched to others 4.5 - Excellent, I will always keep a bottle in stock if possible 4.0 - Very good, quite enjoyable to drink, can consider as a solid choice 3.5 - Good, would taste again 3.0 - Average 2.5 - Acceptable, still drinkable 2.0 - Inferior, able to drink but not enjoyable 1.5 and below—wouldn’t drink again unless I am desperate

Nose: crisp, light, peppery, salty with hint of vanilla Body: medium Palate: more full than the blended oak, sweet (bourbon notes), honey and rose petal Finish: medium Note: I like this more than the blended oak has more body but still light. Also reminds me of sake, maybe rice. I think is a corn distillate but this must have rice in it with a sake undertone.

Long lasting warm taste with depth, immediate tasting note is from the malt. The whiskey has a nice sweetness to it. The sweetness presents its self as a fruity sweetness. Taste of the whiskey is well rounded off because of the bourbon barrel finish, which brings nuance to it. I was very pleasantly surprised.

It's an interesting whisky. I can definitely get the typical bourbon smells from it along with a citrusy smell and taste. The finish has a bit of an orange peel. It's not absolutely amazing but, I would still recommend this to someone who enjoys both bourbons as well as Japanese whiskies.

Nose: Sweet and friendly slight Vanilla Taste: Honey and vanilla with a cinnamon hint Finish: medium lasting with a stronger emphasis and spice Overall A fantastic smooth and affordable blend

Not much of an aroma. The caramel flavor hits strong but doesn't linger. Adding ice makes it better, but it's not my first choice.
