Description

A legendary name in Japanese whisky that developed significant cult status due to many exceptional releases of its whisky following its closure in 2000. The original distillery was dismantled in 2016, however a new one was built 7 miles away in the town of Karuizawa, commencing production in 2023. The Noh Whisky series is a sought-after collection of single cask and small batch Japanese single malt whiskies, produced by Number One Drinks, and labelled in celebration of the Japanese Noh theatre mask tradition.

Nose
Initially, you are greeted by deep aromas of dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, and dried figs. Delicate notes of sandalwood and Japanese incense emerge as the whisky breathes.
Palate
On the tongue, the texture is viscous and mouth-coating. It delivers a sophisticated blend of black treacle, ginger spice, and antique leather.
Finish
The finish is remarkably long and warming, leaving a lingering trail of umami, dark fruits, and a hint of wood smoke.
