Deep amber in colour, this spirit from White Oak Distillery displays substantial body for a blended whisky. And for a quality Japanese offering it’s not stunningly overpriced, believe it or not. Full and robust, it’s got a silky-sticky texture that carries flavours of orange marmalade, Weetabix cereal, honey and vanilla as well as a nutty overtone and essence of charred wood. Bottled at 50.3-per-cent alcohol, it’s spicy and firm. Available in Ontario.
