Disclaimer: I am not a connoisseur of fine whiskeys (just a regular Scotch imbiber thru the yrs.).
My first taste of the Yamazaki (12 yr. old) whiskey. Too much hype not to give it a taste.
Decided to break open the seal (Chrismas gift) last night to bring in the new year. Waited a whole week!
And? ....Nada. Nothing jumped out and grabbed my palate nor my nose....as good/great Scotches/single malt whiskeys tend to do.
My first impression. This is not Scotch (as I understand it). Seemed like a blend of Scotch & Bourbon maybe? It was relatively smooth though (I drank it neat btw).
After all I read....disappointed. Must admit most reviews (incl. Joey's) was on the 18 yr. nectar so there might be a difference...but would it elevate it that much? And that is one expensive price tag!
Lastly on the negativity...it left a not so pleasant after-taste. My palate has experienced "a lot" of alcohol and this is not a typical reaction...except for...wait...some Bourbons...hence possibly my initial taste comparison. There were 3 other tasters...1 found it "good"...the other 2 ...so-so. I guess I was the worst...probably because of the disappointment.
But like they say...give it another go at least to confirm...right? Shall inform if I have a revelation not impeded by the beer earlier in the evening.
So. I shall stash it away and bring it out to impress next time some Single Malt aficionados drop by. Happy New Year.

Whiskey doesn't agree with me anymore but I happened to get one of those ounce and half samplers with something else I bought a while back. This one is Crown Royal Regal Apple. I'm having in a short glass with lots of ice and a splash of cola. I gotta say, it's very applely and probably considered a crime against Whiskey to Whiskey drinkers ha, ha. That said, it ain't bad and if you like Ciders and you like Whiskey then you'd probably like this.
