TASTING NOTES – OKAYAMA SINGLE MALT
Nose
Fresh scents of sea breeze and cut grass. Suave peaty and smoked notes can be perceived in the background. Cedar is outlined after a few moments.
Palate
Very contained. There are hints of wood with vanilla nuances present. There is an almost imperceptible note of white pepper lingering in the background.
Finish
Medium short persistence. Spicy nuances of white pepper and citrus, among which the cedar peel stands out.
Overall, the Okayama Single Malt is a Japanese whiskey that is not particularly incisive and has a rather limited flavor intensity. In contrast, the price is particularly high.
