Palate: On the palate, the whisky is smooth and light-bodied, delivering flavors of orchard fruits, toasted almonds, and soft spices. Hints of grapefruit, creamy toffee, and a whisper of ginger unfold gradually, supported by the gentle grain sweetness from the Chita component. The blend is well-integrated, clean, and highly drinkable, with a refined texture that showcases Suntory’s precision.

Finish: The finish is clean and moderately short, with lingering notes of sweet vanilla, light oak, and a subtle herbal freshness. A faint trace of spice and citrus zest remains, leaving a crisp and refreshing impression.
