About: Produced by Nikka and disilled in the Miyagikyo distillery in Sendai, Japan.
Year sampled: 2008
Nose: Vanilla heavy, which I automatically find flawed.
Palate: (This space intentionally left blank)
Finish: Spicy, harsh, charcoal, PVC pipe.
Overall: One of the most disgusting drinks posing as whisky I've had. Undrinkable.

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.
