Description

A former Japanese whisky distillery that was built by Sanraku Shuzo Co and started distilling malt whisky in 1958. It was later transformed into a grain distillery with the installation of a Coffey still in 1969. Having closed in the 1980s, bottlings of its single grain are incredibly rare.

Allocation

Nose
Fresh blackberries, raspberries, prunes, cinnamon, date pudding, cigars, leather, fermented bean paste, but also layered atop with blackberry hard candy, elderflower syrup, candied lemons and apple compote.
Palate
Pleasant winey tannins, INSANE alcohol integration at over 65.5%. Drinks like 52%, max. Raspberry cordial, maraschino cherry juice, a bit of starchiness, like from peas, then sweet potato leaves lending this a vegetal edge.
Finish
The sherry funk goes up to overdrive, with a dry-sweet meatiness that is almost metallic and reminds me of cranberry Capri-Sun, salami, jamon iberico. Coffee liqueur, rum and cocoa powder reminds me of tiramisu except without the mascarpone.
