Kaiyo japanese whiskey11/28/2023 ![]() It's a step above a basic blended scotch or Japanese whisky, but lacks complexity that would push it higher. Rating: 81/100 - good - It's more than simply "well-constructed" and it's really unique and fun to sit with. I hear the batches are inconsistent so it'll be interesting to see how this compares to a batch a year or two from now, so I'll save a little sample for myself to keep around until then. To this day I find it to be quite unique and enjoyable even if it lacks depth, because what it has is really fun to sit with! It's a bit pricey but I'd happily get another bottle in the future. It's smoke-forward without being peat-forward. Overall: When I first opened this it was one of the most interesting things I had in my collection. Some earthy peat, and a hint of cocoa nibs brings us out.Īfternose: remnants of a cold fire, brown sugar, medicinal. ![]() The "texture" of handling raw leather (not quite an actual smell or taste). Lingering light wood smoke for a long time through the finish. Not much else, but what's there is pretty fun.įinish: Astringent, warming. A splash of water makes the maltiness pop out. The drink itself is not salty, but it has a "salted" quality, though not briny. Taste: wood smoke / ash, a sweetness that presents as lightly salted cantaloupe. Palate: practically zero alcohol burn and thus feels really "smooth", warming, thin with some slightly viscous oily texture The only "high notes" are perhaps a dark floral, but there's not a lot of breadth on the nose. ![]() Nose: hickory woodchips (as for smoking meat), charred barrel wood, the smell right before you bite into a salted caramel, spicy zing.
