The Shinobu Pure Malt 15 Years Old Whisky Mizunara Japanese Oak Finish is an exquisite bottling from the Shinobu Distillery that achieves remarkable depth and complexity with 15 years of maturation in traditional oak casks and a unique finish in Mizunara oak barrels. This Japanese single malt whisky with an alcohol content of 43% vol. combines the tradition of Japanese whisky making with a modern and innovative cask maturation that gives it its unmistakable spiciness and woody depth.
The Mizunara oak, which is only found in Japan, gives the whisky aromas of coconut, spicy herbs and subtle wood notes, which blend harmoniously with the fruity and sweet notes of the whisky. The long maturation ensures a particularly smooth texture and rich flavors, while the whisky retains its purity and complexity. This whisky is bottled without artificial coloring, which underlines its natural elegance.
