Whisky Review

Carefully selected 1st fill bourbon barrel non-peated and 50ppm peated originals. Aromatic, rich, nutty, savory canele and vanilla.

Chichibu Whisky Festival 2022 lottery limited bottle. Bottling the double cask of the bourbon barrel of Asaka Distillery with Caskstrengths.

This is a carefully selected blend of domestic unblended sake that we have been storing and aging for some time and unblended sake from Asaka Distillery. A blended malt Japanese whisky that has been aged for an additional 18 months in sherry casks.The richness and beautiful sweetness derived from sherry are well-balanced, and the aftertaste is long.

Pure malt whisky is finished with bandai mountain-based underground water by blending carefully selected 19-year aged unsaid sake with 18-year aged unsaid sake aged for 3 years in sherry barrels in an exquisite ratio. Non-chill filter (uncooled filtration) and natural color (no coloring). As expected, it is one that is balanced with a complex taste that can be said to be 18 years old.

A rare whiskey sold exclusively by Isetan Mitsukoshi in 2019. It has a sweet aroma unique to port wine and the strength of tannins. Incidentally, the port wine is from Portugal, which is characterized by its mild tannins. This is one of the richly varied lineup of whiskeys produced by Sasanogawa Shuzo, one of the leading local whiskey producers in Tohoku.
