[Review] Pure malt whisky Yamazakura 18 years old

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 single malt whiskey finished in barrels that have been laid down with India Pale Ale (IPA), a medium-dark beer brewed with plenty of hops at Minami Shinshu Beer Komagatake Brewery. Refreshing citrus and herbal aroma, clear sweetness reminiscent of grapefruit and orange, and a crisp bitter finish.

[Review] “COSMO” MANZANILLA CASK FINISH Bottled in 2021

The nose is fresh and slightly spicy. On the palate it is mild, buttery, bitter chocolate, sweet and elegant. This is a very easy drinking whisky, with a calm sweetness that comes out gently in the middle and latter part of the bottle.
