Nikka White, Pure Malt, 43%Color: Gold, slightly orange.
Nose: Wet bark, sawdust, something lightly peated, smoky is a better word for it, some dark orangie sherry notes in the back.
Taste: Liquorice, smoky, quite sweet, burning peat in the back, slowly building up some peppery notes... quite a bitter finale. Where is the promised peat?
Aftertaste: A bitterness best described as "a good try... but this isn't a single malt!" A pure malt in every way. The smoke has gone for a walk and leaves you behind with sweet, soft woody tones of unknown bitterness... How about the Black version?
Score: 70.
Remarks: The nose is much more fun than tasting it. Isn't that the case with most vatted malts?
