Had this bottle for a long time already. And thought it to be a basic peaty Islay. But it is a very fine rounded, bit sweet and not too agressive. Better get a new one. — 7 years ago

Great opportunity to enjoy the whisky tasting @ Yamazaki distillery. We enjoyed blending several original single molt of Hibiki, Hakushu, and Yamazaki. My favourite is Hibiki's Mizunara wood and smoky. — 8 years ago

My first Japanese whiskey bottle courtesy of the Maki clan. Outrageously good stuff. Can't wait for my next Japanese bottle! Really elegant, balanced, complex stuff — 12 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! — 7 years ago

This wine was wonderful as an after dinner sipping dessert selection. I recommend a strong pour in a small glass, repeated frequently until bottle is empty. Great choice for family gatherings and can double as cough syrup. — 10 years ago
