Is it Japanese whisky?

Mashed, fermented, distilled, matured and bottled in Japan, per the Japan Spirits & Liqueurs Makers Association standard.

How it tastes

Honey and orange peel, layered rather than loud. The blend draws on all three Suntory distilleries, which is why it tastes smoother than any of them do alone. The bottle — 24 facets, for the hours of the day — does a lot of the work on the gift market. That positioning explains the price: around ¥11,000 allocated, rarely on supermarket shelves. Buy it for the table presence and the easy pour, not for complexity per yen — Yamazaki 12 outscores it on both, but you cannot find Yamazaki either.
