In our book, and for our money, bottling after bottling the Tsunuki Distillery puts out the most complete, satisfying and best values in all of Japanese Whisky currently.
Located in the far south of Japan's main island, just outside of the city of Kagoshima, the unique, humid, at times tropical climate here, the high levels of peat in the malt and the rigourous attention to detail in the cellar coax out so much nuance from these whiskies sending your tastebuds on a rollercoaster ride especially so with this once a year higher proof non-chill filtered edition.
Notes from this edition are aided by the addition of 10% sherry cask matured stocks and feature notes of sweet citrus notes, marmalade jam, a hint of peat smoke, honey and pancakes.
