Shinobu Pure Malt 10 Years Whisky Lightly Peated 700ml

The Shinobu 10 Years Old Pure Malt Whisky Lightly Peated Mizunara Oak Finish is an exclusive Japanese whisky from the renowned Shinobu distillery, located in the coastal Niigata region on Japan’s west coast. This area is known for the “Three White Treasures”: snow, rice, and sake — ingredients that have contributed for centuries to the rich tradition of artisanal whisky production in Japan. This whisky is crafted with care and expertise by master blender Usami Ken. It matures for over 10 years in carefully selected sherry and bourbon hogshead casks, followed by a special finish in rare Mizunara oak. This Japanese oak is famous for the unique flavor nuances it imparts to the whisky, such as notes of apples, pears, clove, and nutmeg. This Mizunara oak finish makes the Shinobu whisky distinctive and beloved among whisky enthusiasts worldwide. The Shinobu 10 Years Old Pure Malt Whisky has an alcohol content of 43%, offering a powerful yet balanced tasting experience. Due to its limited release, this edition is a sought-after collector’s item for any fan of Japanese whisky.

The whisky is naturally colored and contains no added coloring, emphasizing its pure quality and authenticity. This lightly peated whisky stands out with a complex palette of flavors and aromas. The nose reveals a delightful honey aroma with hints of chocolate, dry grass, and campfire smoke. On the palate, soft notes of caramel, coffee, and mild smokiness emerge, followed by a surprising scent of seaweed and vanilla. The finish is long and smooth, with a subtle touch of salted caramel that completes the tasting experience. This exceptional whisky also invites exploration of surprising food pairings. Think of a platter with rich cheeses, such as a creamy aged cheddar or a soft camembert, which perfectly harmonize with the whisky’s complex flavors. It also pairs excellently with grilled seafood and smoked fish, where the whisky’s light smoky undertone shines through. For lovers of sweet and savory, the combination with dark chocolate and a mix of nuts is a true treat. And for those who enjoy deep, umami-rich flavors, this whisky pairs wonderfully with roasted mushrooms, which enhance the flavors in an unexpected way. To fully appreciate the flavors of the Shinobu 10 Years Old Pure Malt, a serving temperature of approximately 15-18 degrees Celsius is recommended.
