This whisky is what happens when Scotland and Japan shake hands, exchange polite bows, and then decide to make dessert together. The result? A dram that’s both worldly and wonderfully approachable.

On the nose, it’s a refined introduction—vanilla, maple syrup, a touch of ginger spice, and just enough “dusty hay” to remind you that whisky still has its boots on the ground. The palate leans sweeter: caramel, chocolate, graham cracker, and citrus—basically, the flavor profile of a very elegant campfire s’more, if the campfire were hosted by an ambassador.

The mouthfeel? Buttery and creamy, like the whisky just bought silk pajamas and wants you to know how comfortable they are. The finish is long, polished, and quietly confident—malt, caramel, honey, and a hint of roasted coffee, the kind that’s served in a porcelain cup you’re definitely not allowed to steal.

Just eccentric enough to be memorable, it’s a blend that belongs in any serious collection—or at the very least, on your shelf, where it will absolutely judge the cheaper bottles beside it.
