The high malt content and years of maturation in oak barrels have influenced the whiskey both in color and flavor. Its golden hue is attributed to the intense contact with the oak wood. The aroma is delicate and multifaceted: delicate nuances of malt encounter a gentle spiciness. Additionally, there are fruity notes characteristic of Suntory whiskies. The aftertaste slowly fades away, leaving a warming dryness on the palate. This whiskey should be tasted on the rocks or used as a base for long drinks.
