Tasting Notes and Technical Description:
Visual Appearance: Upon pouring, Tottori Blended Japanese Whisky reveals a pleasing, golden amber hue. Its translucent clarity assures you of the quality filtration process employed, and the liquid clings to the glass in moderate tears, suggesting a well-balanced body.
Nose (Aroma): The olfactory profile is an elegant interplay of understated complexity. Initial wafts carry fresh orchard fruits like apple and pear, transitioning into more complex aromas of floral honey, lightly toasted oak, and a touch of vanilla. A layer of soft spice, perhaps nutmeg and white pepper, mingles in the backdrop, adding a layer of intrigue without overwhelming the senses.
Palate (Taste): A harmonious blend of subtlety and expressiveness characterizes the tasting experience. The initial sweetness of honey and caramel is balanced by a gentle citrus tang, resembling candied orange peel. Mid-palate, the whisky unveils a delightful twist of spiced dark chocolate and a hint of black tea bitterness, providing an engaging counterbalance to its sweeter dimensions.
Finish: The finish is medium in length, carrying through the spicy undertones that gradually give way to a warm, woody aftertaste. An echo of the initial orchard fruits reappears, providing a rounded, coherent flavor journey.
Mouthfeel: Despite its moderate ABV of 43%, the whisky is remarkably smooth on the palate, owing much to its well-integrated alcohol and complex yet balanced flavor profile.
