Produced by Shinobu Distillery in Niigata Prefecture, Japan, Shinobu Kihei Japanese Single Malt is a bold yet balanced expression crafted by second-generation distiller Usami Tatsuya. Made entirely from malted barley, the whisky is matured in a combination of Bourbon, Sherry and Hogshead casks. Bottled at 46% ABV for the export expression, Kihei combines rich malt and sweet fruit with vanilla, peach and mango alongside dark chocolate, cacao, gentle spice, subtle smoke and seasoned oak.
Food Pairing: Grilled wagyu, roasted duck, yakitori, aged cheese, dark chocolate, or peach and almond desserts.
Tasting Notes: Rich and balanced, combining sweet malt and ripe fruit with vanilla, dark chocolate, cacao, warming spice, subtle smoke and gentle oak.
Nose: Aromatic and layered, with vanilla and peach accompanied by dark chocolate, cacao, mango and a delicate smoky character.
Palate: Rich and balanced, developing sweet fruit and malt alongside vanilla, gentle spice, seasoned oak and subtle layers of smoke.
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering malt sweetness, fruit, spice and gently smoky oak.
Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature in a Glencairn or tulip-shaped whisky glass; a few drops of water can help reveal additional fruit, vanilla and malt character.
