Light gold in the glass, this single malt Japanese whisky has fresh, herbal aromas of basil, pine needle and green apple. The palate shows sweet pear, mint and kiwi, with green tea and subtle smoke on the finish. It’s made exclusively from malted barley and water sourced from the Ojira and Jingu Rivers, which has a unique softness and purity as it’s filtered through the granite rocks of the Japanese Alps.
Double-distilled in copper pots, aged at least twelve years and brought to proof with Japanese spring water, the resulting whisky is fresh and crisp, with herbal notes and a vibrant feel.
