."Suntory OldThe "M" is a low-priced blended, but it's not too bad.It has a firm sherry type taste.Impression.
Since it is in the cheap alcohol category, the tingling sensation of alcohol inevitably comes out a little, but it does not bother me that much.
Mainly dried fruit-based sweetness, mellow mouthfeelIt is.
It definitely has a flavor above its price.
Evaluation by way of drinking
There is some alcohol stimulation, although this is probably due to the low price. Nevertheless, it is recommended because of its direct sweetness. Slightly oily. Gorgeous taste.
Recommendation
The alcohol feeling felt straight up is gone, and the mouthfeel is mellow. It is quite easy to drink because the sweetness can be felt well. Those who are not accustomed to drinking whiskey can taste more flavor than with straight whiskey.
Recommendation
The bitterness is noticeable. The sweetness is less pronounced and the flavor is less expansive, so the flavor is better served half-rock with 1:1 water than on the rocks.
Recommendation
The elegant sweetness is well perceived. The lingering finish is gorgeous and gentle on the palate. The taste is in the "Yamazaki" family, so it goes well with water. It also goes well with food. There is no negative feeling at all.
Recommendation
The fruity taste is often perceived. The woody bitterness and freshness of the soda combine to create a crisp taste. The lingering aroma of oak can be felt well.
Recommendation

If you consider it as a whiskey for home drinking, it is rated quite high!
