Suntory Royal Year of the Horse 2026 Tasting Note
Nose: This blend opens with a soft and approachable bouquet. Aromas of dried apricots and orange peel are evident, supported by a distinct note of Japanese incense and sandalwood. There is a gentle sweetness reminiscent of honeycomb and vanilla sponge.
Palate: The mouthfeel is rounded and smooth. Flavours of buttery biscuits and vanilla custard sit centrally, layered with notes of stewed orchard fruits. A subtle element of earthy peat smoke develops in the background, adding depth without dominating the delicate fruitiness.
Finish: Medium in length and clean. The conclusion offers lingering notes of oak spice and a warming sensation, trailing off with a faint whisper of cocoa.
Overall: A harmonious and well-constructed whisky that balances fruit sweetness with traditional Japanese oak characters. It is a reliable and polished dram suitable for celebratory drinking.
