Description

One of the Japanese whisky giants. Kotobukiya, or as we know them today. Suntory. The company was founded by Shinjiro Torii in 1899, first as an importer of western liquor.

Nose
minerals, sodium fluoride, hints of chlorine, hay, old decaying grass, light honey which slowly gets sweeter and more dominant with time but never past what I would call a "medium" or "moderate" level, hints of dill, decaying herbs and flowers, more in line with Balvenie though and I anticipate it to be just as sweet.
Palate
Light - to-medium body, initial palate is shockingly sweet relative to the nose, a sort of citrus-lime tartness which diminishes with each sip, mid palate continues with the tartness although in a more diminished state, that strange old Japanese whisky sweetness (I get these from Mars...), a sort of vanilla, no cinnamon, no real chocolate, perhaps some graham?
Finish
Medium, a weird alcohol burn but more closer to burnt food residue, burnt black vegetable bits.
