Nikka Gold & Gold
I was able to pick up my first Japanese malt called Nikka Whisky Gold & Gold. It is a blended malt from one of the oldest distilleries in Japan. Apparently the original owner trained in Spreyside before opening up his distillery. The malt is golden in color, has a very mild aroma. I detect some orange in the aroma. The taste is mild also with very little bite. It is smooth, mild and has a dry finish. Not peaty at all. Remember this is a blended malt so you would not expect the same complexities as a single malt. All in all a reasonably priced and good tasting blend. I would buy it again. If you have tasted any of the Japanese malts please let me know what your experiences have been. A Dram for Life! Dr. Scotch

Glad you liked your first Japanese. Never tried Gold and Gold myself but will seek it out following your recommendation.
Please let me know how you feel about Gold and Gold. Also what would you recommend I try next among all of the Japanese single malts.

Well, I don`t feel expert enough to be directing people around. Have a go at any of them really. There are few real stinkers. I would say Nikka (Yoichi and Miyagikyou) single malts are a good bet.
