Nikka Pure Malt "Hokkaido" 12-year-old

Review by Nonjatta contributor - Dramtastic:

Nikka Pure Malt "Hokkaido" 12-year-old. 43 per cent alcohol.
Nose: Malt, oak, butter, pear, varnish, unscented soap, blueberries and cheese. Yep, cheese.
Palate: There's a big malt component; blueberry cheesecake, cream, walnuts and toffee.
Finish: Medium length. Unscented soap and cheese. Malt, toffee and walnuts that cling to the palate, and some sweet spices.
General comment: Interesting but good.
