Shinobu
The Koshi-No Shinobu Blended Whisky 70cl
Customer Rating
“because the taste improves vastly once you let the bottle sit for about a month after the first pour (if you have the patience). Very boring and bland initially, and with bite associated with younger whiskies. After a month, the fruit really started to become apparent. Very sweet and floral and bit smoother than before. Not bad”

Description
Here we have a blended whisky, Shinobu, which translates as "perseverance" or "patience" in Japanese. A marriage of 50% malt and 50% grain whisky, it's first matured in sherry and bourbon casks before a finishing period in Japanese Mizunara oak. Nicely buttery and woody, and ought to make a fabulous Highball.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Lemon curd and buttery grain sweetness, with mint white chocolate and fragrant wood.
Palate
Fresh, oily malt, with hints of orange and sherry influence alongside creamy coconut.
Finish
Lasting notes of chocolate and creamy vanilla.
