Single Malt Whisky Reviews from Australia

Also tried at Shot Bar Zoetrope in Tokyo, Japan.

Notes

Eye: Super dark

Nose: Deep sherry and berry jam, hints of strong coffee. Wood polish and a heavy floral element. Nuts. Sugar. It's all happening. With time the vanilla became more prominent.

Palate: So sweet, sugar malt on first contact. Espresso jelly babies, amazing Christmas spice with orange citrus and earthy notes. Mushroom? Wow.

Finish: Sweet espresso, earthy sweet malt, dark chocolate. Very refined and very "Japanese" in the whisky sense. Superb finish.
