Bought in Niseko Hokkaido in late January 2018. My first purchase of a Japanese Malt Whisky and I was mightily impressed. No small claim from a McDonald who loves Talisker Laphroig and Lagavulin!!! Compared with the Hibiki I bought duty free this Ichiros Malt was more sooty and tarry but ever so smooth. Reminiscent of Drambuie. Orange Peel and damp straw. Big price difference unfortunately. About $100 in Niseko and about $200 to $250 in Australia. — 7 years ago
Interesting. On the nose, notes of honey and clove. Almost reminded me of drambuie! The tannins are not terribly well integrated, so I had it with some flank steak. Did better but not terrific. Moderate QPR. Could definitely do better at this price point. — 8 years ago

Bought this bottle Duty Free in Japan. This the Top blend for Hibiki. Minerally nose with Woody Notes. Reminiscent of the herbal candied fruit after taste of Drambuie. A delightfully smooth palate with the right amount of Spirit heat. Not 100% sure but think this is 17 years old. — 6 years ago
Port to pair with our chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting. This bottle is a 375ml. It's flows onto the palate with; brown sugar, molasses, maple syrup, toffee, nuts with skin, butterscotch, figs, dates, prunes, raisins, burnt toast, orange peel liqueur, Drambuie, a touch of the long finish of scotch, crumbled minerals, high acidity & sugar with an elegant, lush finish that rolls on and on. Gotta love old vintage Port! Even in 375ml, this port has at least 15-20 years of life ahead of it. If you find yourself in Portugal, get to the houses in Porto and try Taylor Fladgate's Scion last...a perfect 10! Have it last because after you taste it, you won't want anything else. Only available at the Taylor house in Porto. It's a 165+ years old...from pre-phylloxera vines. What are your memories from 1990? — 8 years ago
