April 29 is world wish day. This is an annual event honoring the anniversary of the wish that inspired the founding of the Make-A-Wish foundation. Kevin's son Jason's wish was an amazing experience and this channel was created in the honor of his wish to be a YouTube star. Jason's birthday was in April, he would have turned 14 this year. To help other children facing a critical illness also get their wish granted, we have created a fundraising site to help support the Middle Tennessee chapter of Make-A-Wish. We have a goal of raising $500 by April 29 and we will match any donation up to that $500 target!!

Today we review our first whisky that fully qualifies as a Japanese Whisky under the new rules...the Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt. This whisky changed and re-released in late 2020, ranking #15 in Whisky Advocates Top 20 of 2021. This bottle is in honor of Nikka's founder Masataka Taketsuru. A "pure malt" is a blend of malt whiskies from various distilleries, whereas a "single malt" is a whisky made exclusively from one distillery.
The nose is heavy on the fruit, both apple and citrus, with some honey sweetness as well as some sharpness that could be related to the age. The palate is fruity and sweet but there is a very apparent smoke note and a touch of an astringent bite. The finish hangs out for a while with a sweet, smoke that is rather pleasant. With a small amount of water, the nose moves even more to the fruity side of the sweetness. The palate gets a little more oily and has a bit more viscous. It is a little on the pricey side for a NAS whisky, but it is very good and we would recommend it if you want to splurge! Cheers!!
