Marvey:
Hakushu Single Malt Japanese whiskey, 12 years.

Slightly smokey. Has hints of Sapporo beer aftertaste, which can either be a good or bad thing. Pairs best with Asian salty foods of mild flavor. Plate of rice with ground pork, preserved cucumbers, stir-fried cabbage, and fried egg on top. Only missing Takuan (Japanese pickled daikon). Nothing special, just a Taiwanese "home" dish. I needed something to go with the whiskey.

Anaxilus:
Hmm...not a fan of that Sapporo aftertaste myself.

I did love your Hibiki and I hear the latest Yamazaki won some notable stuff like Scotch of the Year?

Hibiki is the only Scotch or Whisky that I've had that is smooth and mellow enough to eat with Sushi Nigiri.

Marvey:
I liked the Hibiki better. I know - the Sapporo aftertaste thing...

CEE TEE:
Rumor has it that the Hibiki may have a percentage of whiskey aged in plum wine barrels but it is so subtle and judiciously applied if true.  Just a nice, pretty whiskey in an equally attractive bottle.  :)
