The Story
Japanese Whisky, 12 years old, Sherry Cask, produced by Shin Group. 0.70 L, 40% ABV. A whisky that celebrates the intersection of Japanese tradition and sherry influences. Dominant notes of sherry with a lovely blend of molasses and corn syrup, this whisky's naturally sweet aroma makes it a delicious sip. The strong yet tart fruitiness evokes the quintessential flavor associated with balsamic vinegar extract. The dry palate is lightly tinged with a hint of sweetness reminiscent of rum mousse. A long, initially bitter aftertaste reveals a lingering sweetness. Sweet and full-bodied, just like a beautiful combination of cognac and rum.
