SHIN Pure Malt Whisky Mizunara Oak Finish 0,7L

SHIN Pure Malt Whisky Mizunara Oak Finish is a refined expression of Japanese whisky tradition and craftsmanship. This distinctive whisky originates from the Shinobu Distillery in the Japanese region of Niigata, an area renowned for its pure water, tranquil climate, and deeply rooted artisanal culture. Under the guidance of master blender Ken Usami, carefully selected malt whiskies are brought together into a harmonious composition that reflects the essence of Japanese elegance. The name “Shin,” meaning integrity, refers to a core value of the samurai tradition and forms the philosophical heart of this whisky.

The creation of The SHIN Pure Malt Whisky is based on a meticulous selection process of high-quality malt whiskies, which, after maturation, receive a distinctive finishing period in casks made from Japanese Mizunara oak. This rare wood is internationally renowned for its unique aromatic qualities and imparts characteristic notes of sandalwood, incense, and gentle spices. The whisky is non–chill filtered and contains no added coloring, ensuring that its pure and authentic character is fully preserved. With an alcohol content of 48%, this Japanese whisky offers a full and rich body without sacrificing finesse.

Taste character SHIN Pure Malt Whisky Mizunara Oak Finish

In the glass, the whisky displays a warm golden hue with subtle amber reflections. On the nose, it reveals an elegant aroma of honey and chocolate, interwoven with refined woody notes. On the palate, soft vanilla and the distinctive sandalwood of Mizunara oak merge beautifully, complemented by sweet spices, a hint of hazelnut, and a light, peppery spiciness. The finish is long and sophisticated, with a lingering incense character that gradually fades, inviting the next sip.

The SHIN Pure Malt Whisky Mizunara Oak Finish pairs exceptionally well with dark chocolate, delicate desserts, or soft cheeses, but also shines alongside roasted meats or umami-rich Japanese dishes. As a digestif after a fine meal, this whisky offers a moment of calm and contemplation. For the optimal tasting experience, it is recommended to serve the whisky at a temperature between 18–22°C, preferably neat or with a few drops of water to further open its complexity.
