What does Japanese Whiskey smell like?
Whisky and barley malt set a warm, lightly smoky base, while mizunara oak and sandalwood add woody depth. Chestnut softens the gourmand side, and clary sage keeps the spicy, resinous mood in balance. The overall impression is sweet, creamy and oriental.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, so it makes itself known without overwhelming. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, with a warm, dense character. Its value for money is rated more modestly.
