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

Less fruit than suggested and also more peaty than expected - however wonderful pear and a great smokey finish — 10 years ago
A little sweeter than I would like for a rye but so smooth — 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
