I'd be surprised if the Usuikyou, well at least a few bottles, made their way to continental EU. I've noticed Sku has tried this also - same thoughts it seems.- Clint Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473933963199033747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936562371243213081.post-27377342889146211462013-08-31T05:59:58.463+09:002013-08-31T05:59:58.463+09:00Over the years I heard a number of awful things ab...Over the years I heard a number of awful things about Usuikyou whisky, with the mix between metal and cardboard flavours often being mentioned along the way.

I have not bought a bottle as of yet but will be doing so in a few days to follow up the "Monde" sessions. I take it the MC has none of the smells/flavours I describe for the Ukuikyou? Like always this review and comments are purely my opinion only, others may have a different perspective however, many people's perception of this is pretty similar. Could be a good deciding factor if planning on getting it. One extra thing I should say though, besides the unpleasant smells/tastes it is quite smooth given the massive ABV of 64% - but hey it is all about the aroma and palate regardless of it being a SC.- Clint Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473933963199033747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936562371243213081.post-78292895362020697782013-08-31T00:27:01.467+09:002013-08-31T00:27:01.467+09:00I'm happy that you've tried it Clint.

Very drinkable with none of what you have described in the mix.Dramtastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419323432033802440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936562371243213081.post-17851699679972450912013-08-29T20:56:55.702+09:002013-08-29T20:56:55.702+09:00Hi David, to be honest I have not gone into a Bon ...Hi David, to be honest I have not gone into a Bon Repas (Marche) for a while. I've actually forgotten the price of the Isawa 83 vintage, I have a feeling it is around the 3.5k (yen) mark? I hope my review does not infulence your temptations in anyway. If you head into a store before I do please do let us all know the price for a reference. I won't hesitate to give you a sample of the cask strength.- Clint Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473933963199033747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936562371243213081.post-16640358434514291482013-08-29T20:42:14.361+09:002013-08-29T20:42:14.361+09:00Yes the price in Bon Marche often makes it temptin...Yes the price in Bon Marche often makes it tempting given its age and unusualness but ive never bought or tasted one.<br />Davidnoreply@blogger.com
