The Koshi-No Shinobu Pure Malt Whisky Mizunara Oak Finish 43% vol. 0.7 l + GB is an exceptional Japanese whisky, renowned for its harmonious balance between fruitiness, spiciness and the unique characteristics of Mizunara oak. The Shinobu Distillery in Niigata Prefecture – a region renowned for its pure water sources and ideal climate for whisky production – combines traditional craftsmanship with innovative maturation techniques in the creation of this Shinobu Whisky.

As a pure malt whisky, this bottling consists exclusively of malt whiskies that are initially matured in ex-bourbon and sherry casks. It is then finished in Japanese Mizunara oak casks, which are renowned for their rare and porous wood structure. This imparts a delicate, spicy complexity to the whisky, with notes of sandalwood, incense and exotic spices. The alcohol content of 43% vol. ensures a pleasant intensity without overpowering the whisky’s smooth character. The bottling contains no artificial colourings.
