Key Features:

Whisky Profile: This non-age statement (NAS) lightly peated pure malt whisky is among the first peated expressions released by Shinobu Distillery. It boasts a robust and profound body, with smoky and toasty oak flavors. 

Cask Maturation: The whisky is meticulously crafted by Master Blender Usami Ken, who blends malts aged in sherry, bourbon, and hogshead casks before finishing them in Japan's prized Mizunara oak. This finishing process imparts rich, honeyed flavors of apples, pears, cloves, and nutmeg, characteristic of Mizunara oak influence.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Creamy and minty aromas with light peat and a touch of lemon, complemented by hints of charcoal smoke and ash.
  
  
• Palate: Pronounced peat presence mingled with notes of charcoal smoke, ash, dry grass, and a subtle saltiness.
  
  
• Finish: Lingering roasted wood flavors balanced by the sweetness of roasted malt.
