Koshi-No Shinobu Pure Malt Lightly Peated 10 year old Mizunara Oak Finish, 43%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2022 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Japanese Whisky
Give this a little time and space, as the rich aromatic mizunara notes lie tantalizingly beyond the garden bonfire smoke; then there’s licorice, heather honey, deep wood notes, and chocolate hobnobs. A flavorsome blend with a trajectory that spans iced coffee, malt, pepper, runny caramel, clove, chocolate milkshake, oak char, melting chocolate bombs, and peppery smoke.
