GSN’s Remarks: Preliminary impressions embody mushy apple notes, heat vanilla bean, delicate oak, creamy butter, and bittersweet cocoa. A splendidly rounded and clean whiskey, there’s a real cohesiveness right here that feels fairly energetic and upbeat. The end is medium lengthy, with a number of touches of baking spice on the tail finish. Plenty of the character comes from the minerality of the water used, including terroir that merely can’t be replicated elsewhere. A grasp at his best, Tanaka has gifted the world with what might be the epitome of Japanese whsikey craft. GSN Ranking: A++
