2nd time trying this, revisited. A great dram full of flavor from floral notes, toffee, berries, peaches, pears, raisins, smoke, and a little chocolate. Having tried the Miyagikyo NAS/12 and Yoichi NAS/15/20, Is it me or is Miyagikyo smokier than Yoichi?
Mildly sweet with a bit of smoke on the nose. The palate is the same with a smokey and astringent finish. Leaves much to be desired for a Japanese single malt that's now considered valuable.
