So many bars, so many drinks

  

NIIGATA KAMEDA DISTILLERY NEW BORN NONPEAT

Unmatured, pure and fruity aroma [Whisky Festival 2023 in YOKOHAMA(Osanbashi Pier)]

I tried it at the venue. In the sweltering heat of the venue, I had the impression, 'PURE! Rich and sweet!' It left a memorable taste, so I bought a bottle they were selling at the venue. When I revisited it, I was pleasantly surprised by its strong sweetness, and the young fruity aroma remained impressive. When served on the rocks, the flavor underwent a transformation. It lost a bit of its youthfulness/unmatured flavor but gained a subtle bitterness, making it even more reminiscent of aged whiskies. With 14 months of maturation, I couldn't help but wonder if, with a few more years of aging, it might become a truly impressive drink, similar to the experience I had with 'Nagahama Oloroso Sherry Cask Cask Strength.' It's quite easy to drink, so I think it might be recommended even for whiskey beginners [by drinker's standards].
