Shibui 10 year old Bourbon Cask Matured, 40%

Price: $170 Issue: Summer 2021 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick


Single distilled in Shinzato Distillery's stainless-steel still, the nose is replete with bourbon-barrel character including vanilla, honey, toasted oak, generous wood spices, fresh cream, and lemon zest. The mouthfeel is light, with honey, maple syrup, vanilla, a slight nuttiness, glazed doughnuts, ground ginger, and pepper, with hints of milk chocolate on the finish.
