We live in a whisky world where outlandish age statements and heavy sherry aging rule the land. This comes from a mantra of, “coulda, not shoulda.” While this births some rare whiskies with colossal prices, are they necessarily better than whiskies that use a lighter touch?

Fresh green leaves, succulent pears, pepper spices, creamy malt, and earthy smoke. A harmonious whisky that doesn’t need any extra anything. Look, you can scour the earth for tannic dark hued whiskey. Or you can step back and try an easy to find (and my personal favorite) whiskey from Suntory.
