Description

• The Shinobu Distillery is located in the Japanese seaside region of Niigata on the country's western coast. The area is famous for its "Three White Treasures": snow, rice, and sake, which have been cultivated for centuries. Shinobu Pure Malt whiskies are crafted by master blender, Mr. Usami Ken who blends malts aged in sherry and bourbon hogshead casks before finishing them in precious Japanese Mizunara Oak. Famous for imparting rich, luscious flavorrs of apples, pears, cloves and nutmeg, Mizunara Oak has been used in Japan since the 1930s and is now sought-after by whisky makers around the world. All Shinobu whiskies are created without chill-filtration nor added color to protect and enhance thier complex and robust character.
