185. "I work for a Japanese company, and their whiskeys are so floral/fragrant"
In response to In response to 0


  

          

before Covid when office parties and gatherings were a crucial part of team building, they would break out all kinds of bottles on Fridays after our last team meetings

They honestly taste nothing like the whiskeys I grew up with in an Indian household

I dont know how to describe it but they taste like elixirs or potions

my favorites ( i don't own any of these, just tasted them in various settings..if i bought japanese whiskeys id be posting from AA in a few weeks, theyre that tasty)

Yamazaki single malt 12 years old (had this at my boss house)

suntory hibiki

chita single grain

nikka non peated yochi
