7226 – JAPANESE SHINOBU 10 YEARS OLD PURE WHISKY MIZUNARA OAK FINISH 43º – 70 Cl.

Characteristics: Shinobu 10 Years Mizunara Oak represents a mature and refined expression of the art of Japanese whisky. Produced in Niigata, a region known for its pure water, temperate climate and artisanal tradition, this whisky honours the meaning of its name: Shinobu, which in Japanese symbolises patience, a key virtue in the creation of this exceptional distillate.

Aged for 10 years in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry American oak casks, this whisky reaches remarkable depth before moving on to its most distinctive phase: maturation in Mizunara oak casks, a rare and highly prized Japanese wood that adds elegance, character and complexity.

This double ageing process gives Shinobu 10 Years an identity balanced between the richness of Western maturation and the aromatic subtlety of Japan. Each stage of its production is carefully detailed, from the selection of barrels to bottling, ensuring a high-end product intended for the most demanding palates.

With a sober and sophisticated presentation, this whisky not only reflects quality inside, but also in its aesthetics. Ideal for those looking for an authentic and leisurely experience, Shinobu 10 Years is a work of liquid craftsmanship that pays homage to Japanese tradition with a contemporary approach.

Tasting Notes:

• View: Deep amber colour with reddish flashes, a sign of prolonged and careful aging. Bright and clean in the glass.
• Nose: Complex and refined. Notes of toasted oak, dried fruit, honey, caramel and vanilla appear, intertwined with delicate touches of sandalwood, oriental spices and black tea. The Mizunara oak provides a distinctive character, with soft touches of incense and aromatic wood.
• Palate: Structured and silky, with a warm and well-balanced attack. Flavours of aged oak, ripe fruits, sweet spices and cocoa predominate, with an enveloping texture that reveals layers of flavour as it evolves on the palate.
