Shinobu Mizunara Oak Finish 10 Years Old Japanese Whiskey

Patience and dedication are cornerstones in the foundation of Japanese culture clearly demonstrated in their disciplined approach to many things in life. Shinobu Distillery, or ‘forbearance’ in Japanese, holds those qualities in very high esteem in the creation of their beautifully traditional whiskey. Located in the richly historical Niigata prefecture of Japan, Shinobu Distillery has a reputation for crafting high quality liquor, and this release of their signature 10 year old Mizunara Oak Finish Pure malt whiskey stands the test of time. Aged in one of the rarest oaks in the world, the aroma of this delicate wood along with tones of candied oranges and toffee enrich the nose. Hazes of smoke toasted hazelnuts and herb tea soon follow. The taste of this vibrant whisky holds mellow melodic sweetness from dark fruit, vanilla, and crush espresso coffee beans with jewels of citrus and earth hewn oak. The finish is a story of rare wood, sweet fruit, and blended smoothness that leaves you bathed in a mountain stream while tall Mizunara oaks dance in the soft summer breeze. Patiently we’ve wanted for such an expression of whiskey wonderment, but wait no more – pour a glass and transport your taste buds to another spiritual plain of flavor.
