Karuizawa (silent) Ootori Japanese Single Malt Whisky 15 Year Old

Colour

A deep, sunlit amber with copper-gold radiance and a whisper of mahogany.

Nose

Elegant and inviting on the nose: polished oak with honeyed sweetness, dried citrus peel, and dates. Vanilla and almond paste weave through cocoa, while a touch of spice adds warmth. Faint tobacco and a whisper of smoke finish with refined depth and quiet charm.

Palate

Silky on the tongue with a refined sweetness of honeyed orchard fruit, ripe pear and apricot, complemented by delicate almond and toasted oak. Spiced edges emerge, a whisper of clove and ginger, then a resinous finish with vanilla and cocoa nib.

Finish

Silky and refined, the finish unfolds with warm honeyed sweetness that slowly recedes into toasted oak and soft spice. Dried citrus notes and vanilla caramel linger, giving way to cocoa, cedar and a whisper of tobacco. A long, elegant warmth persists, with a delicate, almost smoke-like veil that invites the next thoughtful sip.
