Haley Stanfield 5.0

October 2019. Clear, medium gold to amber in color. Bouquet: Intense sweet spice, vanilla, licorice, cinnamon, longan honey, maltose, sweet butterscotch, and cappuccino. Palate: Rich Christmas cake, sweet PX cream Sherry, Palo Cortado, maple syrup, vanilla, sweet spice, and woody oak sweetness. Finish: Superb balance with a sweet maple wood syrup aftertaste. Delicious!

Johanna Donald 4.8

Wonderful aroma and flavor profiles of this Japanese spirit. The bourbon barrel aging imparts some familiar American notes of vanilla and smoke, but its character is substantial like a Japanese whiskey, and it's just smooth enough to be highly pleasing.

Pedro Powers 5.0

Surprisingly complex and full of flavor, medium body, vanilla, oat, lightly floral with a smooth, extended finish

Ervin Epps 5.0

Understated and refined without being too much.

Boyd Luu 4.5

The best whisky I have ever experienced. Exceptionally smooth.

Ernie Goldberg

How can this be Bourbon? Is it from Japan?
