The Fukano Edition 2021 Whiskey 750ml

90 pts--Whisky Advocate

This collaboration with Women Who Whiskey celebrates the career of Chizuru Fukano. Refreshing fruity esters of peach, lemon, lime, taffy, marshmallow, and spring florals on the nose, plus light vanilla, fresh-brewed coffee, and a smudge of dry spice. Juicy apple and pear flavors, tart citrus, lime zest, sweet bubble gum, peppery and herbal notes, and finally, creamy vanilla followed by a mouth-wateringly juicy finish with further wood spices.

Herbal with roasted sage leaves, coriander seed, savory meat juices, and a twinge of tarragon, though there are fruity qualities like fresh peach and clementine. Creamy orange fondant, clove, peach, and nectarine sweetness, honey, and caramel with a gentle spicy edge makes for a quite charming whisky. It reaches a plateau relatively quickly, with just hints of citrus fruit and light spices to finish.

A delightful fruity specimen, with lime, Asian pear, grapefruit, tangerine, mango, melon, taffy, and a hint of white pepper. More tropical fruit notes to enjoy on the tongue: papaya, dried melon strips, passion fruit, melon, and fruit syrups all floating along on a slick of gooey caramel. Continuity of the fruit-bomb theme continues into a finish of fleshy stone fruits infused with a sprinkle of gentle spices.
