(tasting comment)
(Kenshiro Label) Teeny Nick 1999
Fragrance: Fresh and lively. Blue banana and grapefruit inner skin.
The base has aromas of nuts and cinnamon.
Flavor: Wort-like. Boiled red beans. Slightly citrusy. Slightly bitter and nutty. Pleasant bitterness on the finish. Adding water will make it smoother.
Overall rating: Light and easy to drink. It goes well with water or as a highball.

(Raou Label) Glent Firth 1997
Fragrance: Attractive aroma. A refreshing plum wine. Like herbs such as lemongrass. The sweetness of banana chips. Mild spice.
Flavor: Dry and clear. Like malt. Grappa with a mature feel. Adding water intensifies the spiciness, but makes it easier to drink.
Overall rating: Calm and well-balanced. A timeless malt.
