World Whiskies Awards 2013: World's Best Blended Malt Whisky

An intriguing blend of 3 year old whiskies from Kagoshima and Yamanashi distilleries, which was then aged at Nagano for a further 25 years.

Tasting Notes (nonjatta.com)

Nose: Luscious. A huge hit of apricots. Ginger, soft leather, Seville oranges, lemon barley, toffee, vanilla, stewed rhubarb, lime juice, gentle pepper, a little pine nut, pineapple, walnut, licorice, and a waxy element.

Palate: Smooth and rounded. Big toffee, apricot jam, pepper, stewed rhubarb, Chinese 5 spice. Can oak be creamy? Sweetened corn, pistachios, leather, frangipani, strawberry compote, walnuts, licorice.

Finish: Medium-long. Balanced on a sweet/dry combo then a little minerally.

Summary: A stunning whisky that reminds me somewhat of Hibiki 21. Complex and faultless.
