- Excerpt: Again, who am I, but this is disappointing, given the makers’ huge reputation. Young and oaked, more or less to blends what Laphroaig Select is to peaty Islays. But again, only one man’s opinion.

- Excerpt: While I was hoping for a deeper complexity in this whiskey it is hard to fault its wonderful flavor and balance. Not many producers can create such a light and energetic whiskey without sacrificing its finish

- Excerpt: A touch of smoke comes along in the mid-palate, before fruits and caramelized coffee biscuits. Water allows the flavors to flood the palate. Exemplary blending skills and classically Hibiki.

-
Intro:
A hyped release in the current hottest trend: whiskey anyone can palate.
-
Nose:
Vanilla, melons and vine fruit: cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew, etc. It's fruity, aromatic and light all around. No ethanol whatsoever
-
Taste:
The mouth feel is very thin, and its incredibly gentle. There's more vanilla, some sugary sweet and then a blast of more fruits. I hate the word smooth, but there's no denying it. This is just smooth. Not a whole ton going on here. Its sweet, thin and unoffensive.
-
Finish:
Short, mild and fruity. There's a lot of butterscotch in this one, much like some Nikka I used to have a bottle of.
-
Overall:
This is easily a one note dram. It's sweet, has no ethanol notes and smooooooooooth which explains why its all the rage among many newcomers who want to start with the hottest thing.
