Description
Japan- Blended & bottled in Niigata, Japan, this 10 year old malt whisky is matured in American ex bourbon, Oloroso sherry & rare Japanese Mizunara Oak. Natural color with notes of plum, oak & cinnamon spice. 92 point score at USC,
91 pts at IWSC & Gold medal at SFSC. 90 Whisky Advocate The combination of mature single malts from Lowlands, Scotland and Niigata, Japan that have been double distilled in pot stills works well here. This has a copacetic nose of dry spices, pepper, sandy seashells, and Whoppers, but it’s the comforting, warming flavors—applesauce, cream, malted chocolate-chip cookies, cinnamon, brown sugar, and spiced gingerbread—that really unmask its full potential.
