Shibui Nokoribi Kara Pure Malt, 48%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2022 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Japanese Whisky
Warm earthy peat, lemon and lime, melon, ground ginger, pepper, pine needles, and floor polish aromas indicate the lightly peated malt in the blend. It’s sweet to taste and light on the palate, with soft fruits, hard candy, and a gentle pepperiness, showcasing flavors of sweet tangerine, gingersnap, and soft toffee, with a second wave of more intense pepperiness bringing orange peel and ginger on the finish.
