Clear, straw color. Warm inviting peat aromas, wet grass, baseball glove leather, smoldering fire, some green fruits in the background. Rubber, iodine, and apple tart in the mouth. Hot, but balanced. Long finish. Excellent peated whisky from Ichiro! — 10 years ago

Absolutely stunning. Devoid of many of the flavors that characterize most whiskies, like toffee, caramel and oak. On the nose, it's packed full of fresh orchard fruit up front - green apples and pears, pineapple, fruitcake, honey, crushed peanuts, orange blossom, cream. The body is rich and supple, stuffed with fresh fruits that caress the tongue with a fresh vanilla bean sweetness before offering a burst of tartness on the midpalate that lifts things into the stratosphere. That fructuous sour note hammers home the strong connection to crisp apples and freshly picked pears, and prevents this whiskey from coming across too rich and sweet. A hint of menthol, leather, and dried earth. Cardamom and clove dance on the palate with walnuts, violets and honeysuckle for the medium-long finish. Nice notes of barley at the tail end. Really special. — 10 years ago
