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

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
