Tasting Notes and Technical Description:

Visual Appearance:
In the glass, Tottori Ex-Bourbon presents a radiant, deep golden hue. The whisky's luminescent clarity provides a visual cue to the purity and quality of the spirit.

Nose (Aroma):
A sophisticated nose greets the olfactory senses, first with an inviting whiff of vanilla and caramel, characteristic of the ex-bourbon cask maturation. Layered underneath, you'll detect subtle hints of tropical fruits such as banana, along with undertones of toasted oak and nutmeg.

Palate (Taste):
Upon the first sip, the palate is greeted by the smooth and velvety flavors of vanilla and light caramel, inherited from the ex-bourbon casks. Mid-palate, there is a symphonic interplay of fruitiness—think mango and citrus—balanced gracefully by undertones of spiced oak and a touch of leather.

Finish:
The finish is clean yet enduring, characterized by lingering notes of toasted oak, spice, and a final farewell of vanilla sweetness.

Mouthfeel:
Medium-bodied and elegantly textured, Tottori Ex-Bourbon embodies a silkiness that is often the hallmark of well-crafted Japanese whiskies.

Not everyone's thing, but has real appeal to go with real sugar

This was the first bottle out of recent purchases to catch notice from friends. Unfortunately, it wasn't the happiest memory for those who had tried it, though it had been a while and they couldn't remember why. Safe to say the sweetness must have a fair bit to do with that. It's got apricots and oranges throughout, and the finish to my palate is almost minty. It's got a nice chewy malty body, with plenty of caramel and grain character from top to bottom. Still, the notes that stick with you are the sweeter, citric bits. I find it appealing enough, and my wife has asked that I keep a bottle of it on hand at all times for her use (along with Classic Laddie and Jefferson's Ocean, her other two favorites).
