This brilliant whisky from premier producer, Hombo Mars, is a blended expression created from malts distilled at their Shinshu and Tsunuki Distilleries and aged in the Yakushima cellars. It's a terrifically well balanced expression that exhibits notes of vanilla, lavender honey and sweet oak on the nose, before the palate arrives with sweet malt, gentle cinnamon and subtle floral tones. A really nice Japanese blended whisky that comes in a beautifully designed bottle.
