A single malt Japanese whisky from Nagahama, selected by La Maison du Whisky. This single Cask was matured in a bourbon cask for three years before it was finished in a sake barrel that previously contained Junmai Daiginjo sake.
Incredibly round, with some sweet vanilla and flowery notes brought by the bourbon cask, balanced out by more refreshing and herbal notes reminiscent of lemongrass and rice.
Full expression of the sake cask, with some dryness and sharpness balanced out by an underlying sweetness.
There is a lingering fruitiness, with fruits such as muskat raisins and pear, balanced out by the delicate spiciness and sweetness of vanilla and white flowers.
