Onikishi blended Japanese Malt Whisky is produced in Takacho Town, Taka-gun, Hyogo Prefecture. Japanese water is known for its softness, making it the perfect water to produce smooth and delicate whisky. The nose is woody, from white oak nuanced by hints of honey and myrtle floral scent touched by citrus. The palate has an immediate rush of honey and vanilla, then gives way to a more robust caramel that coats the mouth and makes way through the mid palate to a warmer cedar smoke. A refreshing kick of yuzu zest contrasts the opening sweetness to end.
