  1. Totoro scored this whisky 88 points Connoisseur

    This bottle sure took a long-ass time to really get going.

    Thing is, the finish becomes borderline sublime once the filling level is nearing the halfway mark.

    If you've bought a bottle and are mildly disappointed, stick with it, let the sucker breathe, and ... just wait.

      Bright fruit notes, honey, soft smoke.
    • Taste

      Good balance between sweet, sour, and savory, with quite some bite for 22 years and such a large vatting.
    • Finish

      Hard to explain... My closest comparison would be a really old (28-32 y.o.) bourbon-cask-matured Bunna. It's got this softly smoky, mellow-fruity, spicy-salty je-ne-sais-quois.
      The kind of finish that has its *own* development, running from sharp to spicy to sweet-and-sour to savory/salty... Simply sublime.
      Oh, and looooooooong.
