Hakushu Bourbon Barrel - NAS (2010)

The Bourbon Barrel is a limited bottling matured in bourbon barrels. It comes with no age statement at 48% vol. and no chill filtration.

• Nose: Tropical fruits, apple juice, fresh, a bit smoke, a little bit peat, a bit grassy and flowery
• Mouth: Mild, flowery, very clean
• Finish: A bit smoke and peat, a bit peppery, apple, grass, malt, medium long

Comments: Not too dissimilar to the 12yo but with more tropical fruits in the nose. I quite like it but for similar money you can get the 18yo which I enjoy more.
