The Shinobu KIHEI Single Malt Japanese Whisky 46% Vol. 0,7l in Giftbox

The Shinobu KIHEI Single Malt Japanese Whisky comes from Niigata prefecture, a region traditionally nicknamed the 'Land of the Three Whites' for its snow, rice and sake. It is the work of second-generation Master Distiller Usami Tatsuya, who set out to join Japanese craft tradition with layered, complex cask maturation. The name Kihei stands for perseverance and inner strength, pairing the quiet devotion of a monk with the resolve of a warrior.

This single malt is matured in three types of cask: bourbon barrels, sherry casks and hogsheads, each adding its own contribution of fruit, sweetness and wood. After that multi-stage maturation, the whisky is given a final finish in Japanese Mizunara oak, which lends further depth and a subtle, exotic spiciness.

It is bottled at 46% ABV without added colouring and without chill filtration, which keeps its texture and natural cask character intact. Presented in a giftbox in a 0.7-litre bottle, it suits lovers of Japanese single malt and Mizunara-finished whisky who appreciate a complex, elegantly oaky yet harmonious style.
