I thought it was quite good. Really smooth but almost too smooth. The sweetness just right for my palate and not too complex. The bartender googled it and said it contains 50 yrs old malt and was finished in Mazanilla for the last 18 months. I double check to make sure he meant 50 not 15 in English and he confirmed!! I ended up getting a bottle for about Y23,000. Yeah probably overpaid but oh well. The Yoichi 20 was the winner that night.... So good!! Hope i can drink the rest of that bottle for Y3000 a shot (that's the price he charged me that night)!!
