A COMPLETE REVELATION

This single grain whisky from Japan, at 58.3% and from a virgin oak puncheon, is a real stunner at 4 years old

Flavour profile:  Juicy, oak & vanilla

Outturn:  622 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "The Panel were awestruck by this dram of intense beauty.  Luscious mango and pineapple juices accompany lychees, Bounty Bars and fragrant lemongrass.  The oak is remarkably fresh and fruity with toffee, marshmallows and damson jam.  Gingerbread spice is complemented by creamy milk chocolate and “impossibly rich vanilla custard”.  With water, cherryade, butterscotch, orange oil and fruit cake are entwined in seemingly endless complexity.  There’s pear crumble, fruit cocktails, coconut and gorse bush and a bourbon vanilla milkshake.  Candied fennel makes a brief appearance before plum crumble is served up with a toffee bourbon sauce."

Drinking tip:  "Give it time and you will be rewarded"
