NOSE: Ripe banana, a hint of oatcake, coffee bean and wet grass. PALATE: Soft notes of apple, pear and pineapple, with a core of earthy vanilla pod. FINISH: Chewy barley notes lingerA blend of variously aged “pure malt” whiskies vatted at the Toa Shuzo distillery in Hanyu City. The malts in this whisky originate from Scotland. Please note that the label does NOT say “Japanese Pure Malt Whisky”, so doesn’t have to contain any locally distilled spirit!Critic’s Tasting Note:”The label mentions Hanyu, but I highly doubt there’s any Hanyu malt inside, although I may be wrong. This is ‘pure malt’ but remember it’s not obligatorily ‘pure Japanese’, unless it clearly says so. Colour: white wine. Nose: fresh, fruity, barley-y, in the style of Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve. Apples, hints of oranges, a touch of marzipan, a wee chunk of brioche. Very soft, very light, not unpleasant. Mouth: very young Scottish in style, with more apples, barley water, cake, a drizzle of acacia honey, a touch of cinnamon from the oak, a touch of vanilla… Nothing clearly Japanese in this, but it’s pretty good. Finish: medium, barley-y, very easy. Honey and cinnamon roll in the aftertaste. Comments: some loyal average young malt whisky. Nothing against this.”WHISKYFUN, 2018This is part of a private customer’s collection. These whiskies are in excellent condition.
