Single Malt Whisky, Japan / Honshu – Nagano

Located in Kagoshima, a prefecture in the very south of the Japanese island of Kyushu, the Tsunuki distillery began distilling on 27 October 2016 and the first new make spirit came off the stills on 28 October 2016. Distilled on 19 December 2016 and then matured in a second-fill bourbon cask, this version, which overflows with fresh fruit and bursts with herbaceous freshness, takes us immediately to the Scottish Lowlands. In complete unison, the empty glass even adds a pagoda circumflex to the malty character of an aroma and flavour palette which, when needed, is also deliciously rich.
