This Japanese single malt from the Gaiaflow Shizuoka Distillery has a malty nose with touches of honey, vanilla, dried fruits, and a soft oakiness. The taste has a good balance of tartness and spice with lemon pepper, chili powder, black pepper, honey, and vanilla. The finish is long and spicy with a subtle citrusy tartness.
