Kikori Japanese Whiskey. Image courtesy Soh Spirits. This Japanese whisky is distilled from rice, and the nose is light, crisp, and clean with notes of lemon zest and dried flowers. The taste is light, floral, and sweet with spicy touches of allspice and clove and a good balance with dried flowers. The finish is long with lingering spices and dried flowers. A bit one-dimensional, but an interesting whisky that might do the trick on a hot day. (July, 2016)
