Golden Horse 12-year-old

Review by Nonjatta contributor - Dramtastic:

Golden Horse (Toa Shuzo) 12-year-old. 50 percent alcohol.
Nose: Earthy peat, oak, soy sauce, oyster sauce, seaweed, sandalwood, malt, maple syrup. Lovely.
Palate: Sweet lemon, earthy peat, leather, oak, soy sauce, malt, dates, maple syrup on lightly burnt pancakes, marzipan, nougat
Finish: Medium with the flavours onthe palate. Ends with ashy dryness and gentle oak. Tasty.
