Tasting Notes
These notes summarize Japanese retailer Enokishouten and whisky publication Dear WHISKY on the standard 40% expression. Their articles feature 700ml bottles; this listing is the 1L format, and the notes are a style guide rather than a tasting of this specific bottle.
- Nose: Fresh fruit and toasted cereal, with a bread-like sweetness and a little peat smoke.
- Palate: Apple and grape-like fruit, balancing sweetness with a tart edge, an oily texture and light smoke.
- Finish: Enokishouten describes lingering fresh fruit and sweetness.
The Story Behind the Two Terriers
The name grew from the original whisky's dark bottle and white label. The familiar pair of dogs is a black Scottish Terrier and a white West Highland White Terrier. Brand history connects the design with James Buchanan's fondness for animals, giving the whisky a recognisable identity that continues on this bottle's label.
