Cannot overstate how smooth & seductive this, even just on the nose. Really gorgeous & a lighter touch. Just absolute joy.

My first Japanese whiskey bottle courtesy of the Maki clan. Outrageously good stuff. Can't wait for my next Japanese bottle! Really elegant, balanced, complex stuff

tough to describe! multi-dimensional. bright. certainly not a boring ho-hum dram. hibiki 12 is a bit anodyne. nikka 12 is not.
