About

A blended malt combining Japanese malt whisky from Yoichi and Miyagikyo with Scottish malt whisky (Ben Nevis). The name evokes a musical "session" of different malts playing together. Note: uses non Japanese whisky, so not JSLMA compliant.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Citrus zest, green apple, malty cereal, and a hint of honey

Palate

Bright citrus, orchard fruit, malt sweetness, light smoke, and a zesty freshness

Finish

Medium length, clean, and refreshing with gentle fruit and malt
