Nose: Elegant aromas of hazelnuts & freshly-cut grass. Palate: Sweet & gentle notes of honey, white pepper & nutmeg. Finish: Smooth & spiced. A happy marriage between Scottish heritage & Japanese blending know-how. Peaty & chocolatey notes are present, while the grain whisky sweetens the malt, resulting in a powerful, well-balanced whisky. Tunnel-matured & conscientiously blended by Chugoku Jozo's Master Blenders, the alcohol content is then reduced using pure spring water from the Sandankyo mountains.
