Shinobu Pure Malt Whisky Lightly Peated 0,7L

The Shinobu Pure Malt Whisky Lightly Peated Mizunara Oak Finish is a remarkable Japanese whisky that perfectly combines elegance, depth, and subtle smokiness. Hailing from the coastal Niigata region, famed for the “Three White Treasures” (snow, rice, and sake), this whisky benefits from the cool, pristine climate for a slow and refined maturation. Master blender Usami Ken carefully selects high-quality malt whiskies that first mature in sherry and bourbon hogshead casks, followed by a rare finish in Japanese Mizunara oak. This unique wood, cherished since the 1930s, adds rich aromas of spices, fruit, and exotic wood, creating unparalleled flavor depth. The whisky is completely natural, with no added coloring and no chill filtration, preserving all its original oils and flavors. With an alcohol content of 43%, the Shinobu Lightly Peated offers a complex, rich, and subtly smoky character that any Japanese whisky enthusiast will appreciate.

Taste character

The Shinobu Pure Malt Whisky Lightly Peated Mizunara Oak Finish shines with a natural golden hue and offers a perfectly balanced flavor profile. On the nose, fresh aromas of mint and cream emerge, subtly intertwined with light peat smoke, lemon, and a hint of charcoal ash. On the palate, mild yet distinct peated notes combine with roasted oak, dry grass, charcoal, and a touch of salinity, followed by a long, pleasant finish with warm roasted malt and a gentle sweet oak undertone. This versatile Japanese whisky pairs beautifully with dishes such as smoked salmon, grilled lamb chops, yakitori, and dark chocolate. Serve at 16–18°C, neat or with a few drops of water, to fully reveal its rich layers of flavor.
