Tasting note
Nose
White fruit, clear vanilla and fresh rose petals and a hint of aniseed. Alongside the elegant aromas, some notes of peat and grassy tones. After the glass stands for a while, more sweet scents emerge and even a medicinal note.
Taste
Sweet arrival that is quite spicy. We mean this positively, it impresses on the first sip. Comes across a bit thick too, there is a nice layer of fat on the tongue, a bit waxy shall we call it. But still some fresh flavours of citrus fruit and orange zest.
Finish
Relatively long finish with the bitterness of the peat slowly dying out.
Extra information
The Shizuoka Pot Still K 100% Imported Barley is the first edition made entirely from imported grain from Scotland. This limited edition has a K on the label, meaning it was distilled in the old still of Karuizawa Distillery. The grain used is a blend of 45% twisted grain and 55% untwisted.
