Hokkaido NAS has received praise from all sides. Sweet and reasonably priced grain whiskies are actually hard to come by. Hokkaido NAS and Nikka Coffey Grain just make up for the scarcity of Japanese whisky in this regard. As for Hokkaido 8 Years, although it is also a whisky distilled from both malt and grain, its taste is completely different from that of Hokkaido NAS.

ONCE THE BOTTLE WAS OPENED, THE FIRST SNIFF TOLD ME THIS WINE WASN'T ON A SWEET AND FRUITY PATH: A LIGHT GRASSY AROMA, COUPLED WITH A VERY GENTLE EARTHY SCENT, REMINDED ME OF KYOTO PARK IN SPRING, LUSH AND FRESH. TAKING A SIP, THE BODY OF THE WINE IS VERY LIGHT, VERY CLEAN, WITH A TASTE THAT LEANS TOWARDS SIMPLICITY, ALMOST GIVING A SAKE-LIKE FEELING!

FRIENDS OFTEN ASK WHAT WHISKEY PAIRS WELL WITH JAPANESE CUISINE, AND THIS ONE IS AN EXCELLENT DINING COMPANION. AS YOU SWALLOW THE LIQUOR, THE AFTERTASTE BUILDS ON A LIGHT AND FRESH BASE WITH A BIT OF KICK, BUT THE SPICINESS FADES QUICKLY, LEAVING BEHIND A MINTY AROMA THAT PERFECTLY PREPARES YOU FOR THE NEXT BITE OF DELICACY.
