Yamazaki 12 Year

Year sampled: 2009

About: From Japan's oldest whisky distillery, owned by Suntory.

Nose: Apple, strawberry, vanilla. Kinda boring.

Palate: Spicy citrus- mandarin orange perhaps.

Finish: Warm, sweet; lingers on back of throat and top of tongue.

Overall: It's confusing how much this tastes like bourbon. People who like bourbon but not scotch will love this. I triple-checked the label to confirm it is a single malt.
