Certainly well named - the Japanese are very exact with this description - “Peaty and Salty” nails it. I don’t drink a lot of whisky but as the weather cools down it was a great little tipple - one of the best I’ve had in recent years. Iodine/seaweed notes through the spirit. Not shy at 55% ABV and expensive for this 500ml bottle at $300 AUD but superb quality. — 7 years ago

Great, smooth taste. Hints of caramel and toffee. Reminds me of a good scotch at the end. — 8 years ago

Just realized what the flavors remind me of: a forest! Not something I would want all the time, but quite interesting and rare. — 9 years ago

Completely unique style of California Cabernet. Almost Rhone like with dusty olive and tons of acid. Great wine. Needs some time. — 10 years ago

A unique bourbon. Vanilla nose with an incredible flavor of cherries on the palate, almost kirsch-like. Very happy with this. — 7 years ago

Rich amber color. Luscious red fruits, licorice, honey, and cardamom in the nose. Deeper flavors on the palate, with very rich mouthfeel and hints of light smoke. Luxurious finish. Nice to be tasting some Japanese whisky again after a dry spell in California! — 8 years ago

Dark fruit, dense, long finish. Pricey, but a reasonable value (if a $225 Cali Cab could ever be called reasonable) — 9 years ago
