概要

Niigata is known in Japan for its “Three White” treasures, snow, rice and sake, and a naturally blessed environment for pure water source. Shinobu means “Forbearance” in Japanese as it is how the distiller’s spirit should be when making quality whisky. Shinobu Whisky is hand crafted by the distiller, Mr. Usami. He carefully selects whisky from around the world and first matures this in ex-Sherry and ex-Bourbon casks. It is then finishing in precious Japanese Mizunara oak and further maturing of the spirit takes place in Japan. The result is a unique fusion of flavours and dynamic explosion in palate yet so smooth and easy to drink. All natural with no colouring. Nose with roasted red plums, vanilla ice cream and a sprig of mint. Vanilla spice and lemon citrus first appear, in the mouth, there’s a fruity sweetness that leads to a charred oak and more delicate spice. Finish with oak more evident and balances between fresh mint and bitter fruits.
