Sasakawa Pure Malt Whisky 48% 750ml Japanese
| Description: | History,. Sasanokawa is Tohoku Japan's oldest sake brewery, and they began distilling whisky in 1946 - as such, the distillery boasts a long history of producing small batch craft whiskies for the local area, using the excellent quality Koriyama city water. Their original Asaka distillery located deep in the mountains was revitalized in 2016 to take over production of their ji-whisky (local Japanese Whisky). They are also famed for assisting Ichigo Akuto in the launch of Ichiro's Malt whisky line by holding on to casks from the closed Hanyu Distillery. Tasting Notes,. asakawa Pure Malt Whisky is a masterful blend of two unpeated malt whiskies and one peated malt whisky. The three whiskies are aged in bourbon barrels for a minimum of 5 years. Then one of the unpeated malt whiskies is finished in Spanish sherry casks. The whisky is astonishingly light, smooth, and soft, with a hint of peaty smokiness hiding beneath the sherry savor. The nose hints at crme brule, far-off nighttime campfires, and a whisper of a freshly opened old book. |
