Get back to nature; this is a whisky to savor during a spectacular sunrise. Lychee, edamame, pea shoots, green apple, and morning dew on lush lawns. … The taste jumps from lemongrass to lemon candies …
With high floral notes, an aroma reminiscent of shochu, and light flavors of pear and vanilla, it's a unique contribution to the whiskey category that's very easy to enjoy.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
