Suntory Pure Malt Whisky Tarudashi Genshu 58%abv

yamazaki-taradeshi-genshu-500ml-58

Nose: Oak and toffee. Wine and brine.
Palate: As expected, very punchy at 58%. This one will need water as the hot spices at cask strength overwhelm everything else. With water, this whisky becomes more creamy and custardy. Not particularly malty.
Finish: With water, it is warming, of good length, creamy, spicy with a hint of wine.
Last Word: This won’t be on the repeat purchase list, but it was fun and worth trying.
Rating: 80/100
