The Koshi-No Shinobu Pure Malt Japanese Whisky – Mizunara Oak (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 43% Age: No Age Statement Country: Japan
Niigata is known in Japan for its “Three White” treasures, i.e. snow, rice and sake, and a naturally blessed environment for pure water source. Shinobu means “Forbearance” in Japanese as it is how the distiller’s spirit should be when making quality whisky.
Shinobu Whisky is hand crafted by the distiller, Mr. Usami. He carefully selects whisky from around the world and first matures this in ex-Sherry and ex-Bourbon casks. It is then finishing in precious Japanese Mizunara oak and further maturing of the spirit takes place in Japan. The result is a unique fusion of flavours and dynamic explosion in palate yet so smooth and easy to drink. All natural with no colouring.
Bottled at 43% abv and comes with a gift box displaying artistic detail.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Roasted red plums with vanilla bean ice cream and a sprig of mint.
Palate: Vanilla spice and lemon citrus first appear there’s a fruity sweetness that leads to a charred oak and more delicate spice.
Finish: Now the oak is more evident and balances with fresh mint and bitter fruits.
