Featured in The 1001 Whiskies you must try before you die book
"if you are used to the monstrous sherry, intense oak or full frontal peat of various Japanese whiskies, this is the sweetest of treats. It is a delicious mix of soft mint toffee and banana toffee with lashings of creamy vanilla. Utterly charming and utterly irresistable"
For a fresher twist compared to the Sherry cask why not try this ex-Bourbon cask Yamazaki from the same vintage as the award winner of "Best Whisky in the world" Jim Murray Whisky Bible
Featured in Ian Buxton's 101 world whiskies to try before you die book.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright golden amber with a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
Delicate, candy-sweet aromas of mint-toffee and banana-toffee rise with creamy vanilla, wrapped in subtle bourbon-barrel warmth. Fresh, utterly charming and irresistibly inviting.
Palate
Soft mint toffee and banana toffee mingle with creamy vanilla, coating the palate in velvety, dessert-like sweetness. Bourbon cask warmth lends rounded oak and a silky mouthfeel, finishing syrupy and long with an irresistibly charming lift.
Finish
Long, velvety finish where creamy vanilla lingers, woven with banana-toffee and a hint of soft mint. Bourbon sweetness persists, wrapping the palate in warm confectionery richness that gradually fades into a refined, sweet kiss.
