All natural without colouring. Non-chill filtered. The Shin Malt Whisky is crafted by Mr. Ken Usami, the master blender of Shinobu Distillery who selected finest malt whiskies and finished them in casks made of Japanese Oak, Mizunara Wood. "Shin" stands for "Integrity", one of the core principles of Samurai tradition. Shin Malt Whiskies are well balanced between the woody flavor and incense of sandalwood from Mizunara Oak and the bold aged maltiness, which brings The Shin Malt Whisky a fruit forward and with a bit pepper and spice aftertaste. Tasting Notes: Nose: Significant sweet aroma of dark dried fruit, like raisin, dates come forward on the nose, and with a touch of vanilla. Palate: Sweet vanilla and dark dried fruit followed by sandalwood, and oriental spices.
