Hakushu 12 Year Old:
Nose: Light and crisp with fresh notes of cut hay and sweet mixed peels. Also present is just a hint of hazelnut and barley malt.
Palate: Clean with notes of fresh cut fruits, gentle barley malt and smoke. A floral character with citrus zest.
Finish: Sweet and spicy.

Hibiki Japanese Harmony:
Nose: Aromas of marmalade, orange blossom and apricot jam, held together with a subtle spiciness, giving a hint of cinnamon and clove.
Palate: The generous fruit continues on to the palate, with oranges and apricots in abundance. There’s a little peppery spice, but the soft, succulent fruit takes hold. Nice balance, and nicely crafted.
Finish: The spiciness takes over from the fruit and lingers, along with a little barrel char.

Miyagikyo Non Age:
This single malt whisky features a sweet and elegant fragrance like fresh flowers, combined with a soft maltiness and a delicate, gentle and appealing mature essence derived from sherry casks.

Togouchi 12 Year Old:
The Togouchi 12 year old is a blended whisky with a Scottish and Canadian character but also a typical Japanese soul. Aged in oak barrels and made with a good percentage of peaty single malts, this whisky expresses intense wood and cereal aromas mixed with peaty notes.

Nikka From The Barrel:
Nose: Medium-body with good balance. Notes of cut flowers and fresh fruits appear with a kick of spice and a little oak.
Palate: Full-bodied and punchy. There is plenty of warming winter spice and toffee, a little caramel, vanilla and a good mouthful of fresh fruit.
Finish: Long, warming and fruity with a little oaken spice.
