Maen The Perfect Circle Whisky 43% Vol. 0,7l

The new modern Japanese dram on the block.

Shiki Shuzo Corporation is one of the modern Japanese Spirits producers that’s responsible for an impressive portfolio of premium Japanese Spirits. The Perfect Circle Whiskey Company is high on the lists of the most interesting ones.

MAEN The Perfect Circle Whisky is what you’d call the perfect modern dram. This is a gorgeous blend of malt and grain Whiskies that were first distilled 2-3 times in copper pot stills before they were put to rest for 3-5 years in American ex-Bourbon white oak casks.

But it’s not even just about the sophisticated and versatile Whisky with its tasty notes of spices, nuts, honey, and fruits, take a look at the minimalist bottle. The label was created by the Japanese calligraphy artist Juju Kurihara and features a circle – a sacred symbol in Zen Buddhism. An art piece both on the inside and the outside, this modern Whisky is best served neat or in a craft cocktail.
