Distilled, aged and blended in Japan by the Shinshu distillery located in the heart of the Japanese Alps, this single malt has a rich and malty profile revealing a nose with citrus notes evolving towards vanilla. During the tasting, the silky texture brings new cereal and fruity aromas that are joined in the finish by a touch of bitterness inherited from the maturation in Japanese beer barrels.
This small batch is composed of single malts aged in American white oak barrels, blended and then put back into ex-beer IPA barrels for a few months maturation. These barrels come from the Minami Shinshu brewery located on the site of the distillery at 800 meters above sea level, where Hombo Shuzo produces a sweet beer based on local ingredients.
