Certainly well named - the Japanese are very exact with this description - โPeaty and Saltyโ nails it. I donโt drink a lot of whisky but as the weather cools down it was a great little tipple - one of the best Iโve 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. โ 6 years ago
Great, smooth taste. Hints of caramel and toffee. Reminds me of a good scotch at the end. โ 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! โ 7 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. โ 8 years ago
Clean, briny and peaty. Warm on the finish. Needed a little water to open up. โ 9 years ago
Less fruit than suggested and also more peaty than expected - however wonderful pear and a great smokey finish โ 9 years ago

Nose is apple, fresh and light. In the mouth very light and jovial as well. Fruity and then lightly bitter on the finale. Very feminin and elegant. โ 9 years ago
