About

Cask Number: 370.

Situated on the main island of Honshū, north of Tokyo in Hanyu City. The production of whisky commenced during the 1980s, however, the distillery closed in 2000 and was demolished in 2004. Sasanokawa Shuzo, a sake maker from northern Japan, and Ichiro Akuto, a grandson of the original owners, rescued and now hold the last casks from this distillery and continue to release a small number of single malts.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Lots of dark fruits, dried and rich. Figs, dates, nutty. Fruit salad. Tannins.

Palate: Big, chewy, tannic oak. Pleasant acidity.

Finish: Remins us of Watermelon Nerds. You'll just have to try this one for yourselves!
