Master of Malt –
Master of Malt customers often mention the deep amber color, luxurious mouthfeel, and a perfect balance between the sweetness from sherry and the robustness of the oak.
Alex L. –
Incredible flavors of dried fruit, spice, and oak. A stunning whisky, but given its price, it’s more of a special occasion treat than a regular pour.
Martin G. –
Definitely a refined experience, but not necessarily worth the splurge. It has beautiful sherried characteristics with a nice mix of fruits and spices, but it’s more for collectors than casual drinkers.
Tom J. –
A very elegant dram. I love the rich orange and sherry flavors, though I think some younger whiskies offer a similar experience at a fraction of the price.
Ethan J. –
I’ve had several Japanese whiskies, but this one stands out. The balance of sweet and spice, with hints of sherry and toffee, make it unforgettable.
