This probably should not have been the last dram of the night for me, because I already had a good amount of other bourbons and scotch before hand. However, I had the opportunity to buy this dram and figured, oh well, might as well enjoy it while its available. The first thing that appealed to me is the Samurai cover. It's just "oh so cool, I need to get it, no matter if its good or not". And let me tell you folks, it was not bad.

Region: Japan

Nose: Fruity, Floral, caramel, and sweet sweet brown sugar

This is a really cool centerpiece to have in a collection of your whisky stash. As far as taste it has a ton of potential, but you can tell its still very young.
