Wondering what to get a Whisky lover this winter?

But what does it taste like?

Well, it has a balanced feel in the mouth, with an aromatic palate and floral notes.

The style is light and elegant, but a great deal of depth comes from the malted barley.

Hatozaki Blended has cereal notes and a delicate roundness, which mean it can be appreciated mixed in classic Highball or twisted in a Matcha Tea Highball.

It can also be enjoyed all year round and is a great initiation into the world of Japanese whiskies.

Currently available at Waitrose in a 70cl bottle for £31!
