Shinobu Pure Malt Mizunara Lightly Peated 10 year 750ml

Discover the harmony of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and gentle peat with Shinobu Pure Malt Mizunara Lightly Peated 10 Year 750ml. Crafted under the direction of master blender Ken Usami at Shinobu Distillery in Niigata, Japan, this premium pure malt whisky is matured for more than 10 years in ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks before receiving a finishing period in rare Japanese Mizunara oak. The lightly peated malt introduces an elegant layer of smoke while preserving the delicate balance for which Japanese whisky is renowned.

Bottled at 43% ABV (86 Proof) and presented without chill filtration or added coloring, this whisky opens with aromas of honey, milk chocolate, dry grass, and gentle bonfire smoke. The palate unfolds with rich caramel, coffee, vanilla, subtle seaweed, and soft smoky notes, complemented by the signature sandalwood and spice imparted by Mizunara oak. The finish is long, smooth, and warming, leaving lingering notes of salted caramel, oak, and delicate smoke.

An excellent choice for both Japanese whisky enthusiasts and lovers of lightly peated expressions, Shinobu 10 Year Lightly Peated Mizunara Finish is best enjoyed neat, with a splash of water, or as the centerpiece of a premium whisky tasting.
