Nikka Yoichi Bourbon Wood Finish 2018

We start our list with the 2018 Nikka Yoichi Bourbon Wood Finish. This one whisky it is part of a limited edition produced in 2018 at the Yochi distillery. We are talking about a Single Malt bottled by Nikka at 46% vol without indication of age. Its spicy flavor and aroma is the result of a year of aging in ex Bourbon barrels. The taste is absolutely full-bodied but without excesses. The delicate sweetness is given by a hint of tropical fruits and light vanilla mixed together. Its sea breeze and peat notes give it a medium-long finish with hints of vanilla. Undoubtedly an excellent one whisky Japanese.

Ichiro's Malt Chichibu The Peated 2018 10Th Anniversary 

This whisky it is still made the old-fashioned way: in a small distillery in Chichibu (a city in the suburbs of Tokyo) and with only nine employees who are passionate about their work. As with all Chichibu Distillery products, this whisky it is considered by true connoisseurs to be an excellent product above all for its freshness. The initial flavor is a mix of chopped cereals, camelina oil and grains to then move on to a sweet-sour finish of pink grapefruit mixed with grape seeds. A perfect balance of flavors for those who love whisky not too aged! 

The Hakushu 12 Year Old

This whisky Japanese single malt is simply amazing. Let's talk about a whisky peated from the Hakushu distillery, owned by Suntory. The first hint on the nose is of toasted barley, seed and nut bread, ground almonds and a little barrel char. The sweet notes of milk chocolate and dried grass are sublime. Although the palate is very fruity it is incorrect to classify it as a whisky Sweet. The finish is quite short but pleasant with a trail of orange peel that lingers for a long time. What places it among the most valuable whisky Japanese is its singular touch of minerality.

Mars Komagatake The Revival 2011

Its name is inspired by the year of the rebirth of the Shinshu Mars distillery, which took place precisely in February 2011. August 6, 2014 is the date of birth of this whisky, considered among the best whisky Japanese in the world.
