An 8 year old blended malt whisky, released as part of the 963 series of expressions. These whiskies are created by Sasanokawa Shuzo, the company also responsible for making the Yamazakura expression, all of which aren't commonly seen outside of Japan. This one is made completely using malt whisky, and interestingly has been bottled at a rather punch 57% ABV.
Apricot and pear, with a hint of malted milk biscuits.
Toffee pennies, sea salt and dried oak.
Subtly spicy on the finish.
