All-in-all, this is a good spirit. Not having the palate of a termite, I really appreciate this. I want to give this a 7, but the price is prohibitive. Score: 6/10 In the mouth: It’s hotter now but it’s expected due to the youth and abv. I get medium tastes of apple juice, sapodilla, honey, coffee, caramel, toffee, and coconut sugar syrup. At the end are really subtle tastes of banana chips, honeydew melon and dehydrated lemon peels. Conclusions:No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service.

Being a distillery that’s just started operating again, I can understand them sourcing whisky despite them saying they feel obligated to not import any. That, and the quality of this blend, makes the price more forgivable. They could make this blend better, though. By “better,” I’m thinking along the lines of Douglas Laing Remarkable Regional Malts good. But, I think it’s still on the pricey side. While this deserves a 6, I’m giving it a 5 because we factor in price. Score: 5/10

If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. On the nose: I initially get bold but short aromas of barley, mangoes, mango skin, cooked pears and dried apricot. The ethanol heat can get inconsistent. At times it’s just in your face. There are times when it’s very well-behaved. After the initial aromas are light and short aromas of barley husk, chocolate malt, roasted coffee beans, browned apples and honeydew melons. Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”).

Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products.With my limited experience of tasting Asaka whisky, it seems to me that they have a thing for two-faced whisky. Like the Pure Malt above, this is also two-faced. The aromas are more fruit-forward, while it gives off more confectionery tastes. I don’t mind that the sherry cask influence wasn’t really taken on. How much cask influence can a spirit really take in with just a four month aging period? We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets.

I also initially thought this was them making a cash grab by taking advantage of the Japanese whisky bandwagon and selling really young distillate bottled as single casks, but I’m glad I was wrong. Tasting this has made me excited and more curious about Asaka Distillery.Each and every Member must be of legal drinking age in its country of residence to be allowed to use the Service.

We have the right to ask you to provide proof of your age and/or to provide further identification to prevent underage usage and/or for any other legal or legitimate purpose. By using the Service, and by creating an account you represent, warrant and confirm that you are of legal age. Because of only four months of aging, I was initially surprised at how drinkable and good this was. I’ve had way worse older whisky than this. After a bit of wondering, it hit me that I shouldn’t be surprised at all. This whisky was made by sake producers, after all. With most sake ( nihonshu) not relying on casks for flavor, it only makes sense that these guys would make sure this fermented really well. Hence, the quality of this whisky screams good fermentation.
