Yoshinogawa Long Aged Koshu (Old Sake) Yuukyu-no-tori 2008 received as a birthday present.
I was looking forward to this day as it was my first time to drink old sake of this level.
It looked like whiskey, so I thought the aroma would be whiskey as well, but it was more like vinegar with a strong sourness, followed by the smell of matured alcohol.
When I actually drank it, the sourness was not as strong as the aroma, but rather an aged, gentle sweetness like that of whiskey spread in my mouth, with a moderate sourness coming from it. It is not as strong as whiskey, so it is easy to drink.
