Fukano Whisky (Edition 2223), 41.6%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2023 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Japanese Single Grain
This rice whisky is a rather delicate and beautiful creation with a nose of grapefruit peel, lime zest, lemon lip balm, vanilla ice cream, floral notes, and soft spices. On the palate, it’s a bright, citrus-forward whisky with bold notes of warm orange, vanilla, and brown sugar, shifting subtly to add mixed peel and candied orange and lemon over base notes of clove and peppercorn.
