Professional reviews

BOW (86.50)

Behold the Goldorak Grendizer 2024 Limited Edition, a whisky whose very essence is a tribute to fine craftsmanship. Bottled at 43% ABV, this expression is a masterful blend composed of 60% corn, 10% wheat, and 30% malt. Hintori unveils a delicate symphony of light, floral, and fruit-driven notes, inviting the palate to explore its gentle yet complex character.

Aged in the harmonious embrace of both new American and French white oak, this whisky has been meticulously designed for those who appreciate purity of flavor. Whether sipped neat, as its creators intended, or savored over ice in the refined tradition of the Japanese highball, it caters to the connoisseur’s every whim.

Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: A golden hue, radiant and inviting.

- Nose: A bouquet of forest fruits, sun-dried and rich, mingling with the sweetness of honeycomb.

- Palate: Soft and rounded, with a playful "Goldorak" burst on the tongue that adds a touch of whimsy. Dried forest fruits reappear in full bloom, dancing alongside honeycomb. The palate is further graced by the lushness of ripe yellow bananas and a tropical hint of mango.

- Finish: Medium in length, gently fading with an irresistibly sweet, lingering warmth—like the final indulgence of a dessert that leaves you smiling.

An elegant dram, suited for those with a discerning sweet tooth, yet balanced enough to leave a lasting impression.
