Bushu Golden Horse Japanese Blended Whisky

A blended whisky from the Golden Horse range. The Golden Horse brand previously had age statements on their labels, though since relaunching in 2016 (following a period where Golden Horse fell off the map, so to speak), they no longer feature age statements.

Golden Horse Bushu, along with other Golden Horse whiskies like Musashi, is made by Japanese company Toashuzo. This company sources its whisky as a non-distilling-company (NDP), mainly from Scotland, and blend and bottle the Scottish liquor as Japanese whisky. Golden Horse whisky is a rare sight on other markets than the Japanese market, making this an interesting bottle altogether.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Subtly perfumed peaty notes, with layers of creamy caramel and sweet porridge.

Palate: Crunchy cereals, honey, those edible flowers you get with fancy meals, hazelnuts.

Finish: Vanilla and Sandalwood last at the finish.
